    .........To be honest, I can’t see that happening, but I’m not at the point yet where I do believe there is actually a credible threat present in society that the vast majority of parents don’t have the confidence in their own parenting to be able to say “No” to their children. I’m aware of parents who are mentally at least paralysed with an inability to say no to their children and continue to enable them for fear that the child will take their own lives, and I can understand that hearing “You’ll regret this” from a child when they’re sent out to school or they’re refused the latest gadget would indeed take on a far more sinister undertone when the parents know their children have not just the knowledge, but now also the means to carry out such a threat. They fear for their children’s happiness, health and indeed their safety, and so they are more likely to enable the behaviour and the mentality rather than tempt fate as it were.


    A couple of years ago, Katherine Zappone created the frame work for legislation on Transgender rights. I can't recall the full title just now but I read it at the time. There was a strong emphasis on labelling dissenting parents as ''unsupportive'' and iirc helping teenagers to overcome parents objections. Maybe someone else knows the one I'm thinking of?
