Okay, then we have determined two things: (1) Two years old is too young for getting ears pierced and (2) parents do not have the an actual right to raise their children according to their beliefs. I would follow up with two questions.
1. How old is old enough for ear piercing? Children and teenagers are impulsive and frequently do not give things rational thought.
2. Since parents are not going to make this decision, who should do it? It clearly cannot be the child until the child reaches majority, so who will serve as surrogate until majority is reached?
