    Two issues: children are not property, and what if either care or safe keeping is lacking? See this earlier post of mine in the thread:

    We do that precisely to limit the damage that may be wrought by irresponsible, incompetent or uncaring parents.

    We go on to do much the same to competent adults.
    What in particular makes the decision to deny your children vaccination fundamentally different from the decision to rent them out as cheap labour? Or to deny them their education?

    From a strict individual's property rights point of view, both cases are quite equivalent: your property, your decision to make. Except, of course that we don't accept your decision in some cases and take matters out of your hands (child labour). Why then, should we not do the same with vaccination given what we know namely that to deny vaccination is tantamount to abusing your positing as a parent and failing in your duty of care?
