Then he/she can wait till he/she is 18. In any case the people involved are thinking of the child's best interests, which you apparently aren't.

Why does it bother you so much that someone is choosing to raise their child differently than you? How does it affect you? No harm is done to the child, in fact quite the opposite.

Where do you as a person get off telling someone else how to raise their kids? Isn't conservatism supposed to be about these exact individual rights and choices?
