TBH I dont know what way to vote on this one. I might just spoil my vote.

I wouldn't spoil the vote if I were you.
If you feel that you have not been given enough information to cast your vote, keep the status quo, vote no.
This referendum has not been fairly explained to the electorate, apart from calling it "The children's referendum" which in itself encourages people to vote "yes" because why could this possibly be a bad thing????

Ah, I'm not worried about it, I don't plan on being a shít parent any time soon.
I know we entertain the paranoid fantasy that the dictatorship will use its new powers to take our kids away unless we feed them enough pro-state propaganda, I'm totally on board with that, but with the amount of kids being dragged up in this country, I'm sure they'll have their hands full for quite some time.
I think there's something to be said for separating parents who don't give a shít and refuse to take responsibility and kids who run wild because they know they're above the law.
Ever had an unknown 10-year-old threaten to stab you? It's adorable, but you can't help wondering what the parents are playing at or what the future holds for little Jimmy who's apparently being failed by everyone in his life.
