Abstract
Consider two generally accepted and intrinsically plausible principles: (1) children have basic needs for food, shelter, protection, and affection—all of which their parents are usually in the best position to satisfy; and (2) children need to be protected from serious abuse by their parents and other adults. The question arises whether these two principles are always compatible, and what should be done if and when they are not.
