Default If Children Or Minors Had Un-Limited Control Over Their Parents: Would It Benefit?

Imagine If minors managed all their parents money, made and managed all household, personal, private decisions, activities, affairs, etc would parents put up an aggressive fight and resist fiercy to all measures to stop their children from gaining too much power over their life or could there be a compromise?

Since research, statistics, data, proves that the vast majority of children are raised pre-maturely, un-healthy, etc proving the notion that the parent is always over the child, best interest, is 100% false

*shrugs*

"Best interest" is a relative term. Parents generally do the best they can, whether that is in the best interest of the child or not is up for debate.

But consider yourself as you are now vs. yourself as you were when you were 16, when you were 8, when you were 5 . . .

People who promulgate this sort of idea tend to be very young because they lack perspective and they feel that what newfound perspective they have applies to who they have always been.

I mean, come on, children that are raised by immature parents end up immature. Children raised by mature parents end up mature. Statistics only work if applied correctly, so you need to investigate what is going on within the overall pattern in order for it to be actually meaningful. In other words: it is in the child's best interests.
