There is a global community of which we have obligations to. i.e. treaties.
Other than that, we have our sovereignty. If one of our gov'ts subjects (citizens) is out of control to the point where they impeed on our gov'ts ability to fulfill its obligations to the global community it is a part of, our gov't will enforce capital punishment when necessary. Well, I believe under a gov't supposedly providing its citizens with "freedom/sovereignty," that those citizens should be allowed to run THEIR households accordingly as well. If my child is not playing by the rules and impeeding on my ability to fulfill my obligations to the global community outside my own sovereignty, ( family is my kingdom where I am ruler, gov't is a kingdom of which I am subject), than by the exact same standard our gov't lives by, I should be able to as well.
