NO.





This should be the responsability of the local community.


Having the govenment attempt to micro manage is impossible. It would have to continue in it's cookie cutter approach. Personal attention is not possible when there are thousands in need of intervention. In the local area there may be less than 100. The information should not be kept private, and it should not affect a persons right to live like anyone else. This public knowledge is to protect a victim and not stigmatize. Community intervention should not focus on punishment, but rather education.





Normally a mother even in distress doesn't really want to harm her child. If that is the case, then give what ever support is needed so that mother will accept the education.





A correct analysis is necessary to treat the cause and eliminate problem.
