I've noticed there's a significant cleavage on the forum between those who are quick to take children from their parents and those who are slow to. This has issue has come up in a number of threads (e.g. Anti-Vaxxers), but I thought it would be good to explore the issue separately.

What justifies the state taking children away from their parents?

Decide which is the less-worse situation for the child: being in a foster home or being in their family home.

I don't know who is making the argument that children should be taken away for failure to be vaccinated. But you can use sticks like forbidding them from enrolling in public school and sending CPS workers for unannounced home visits.

Snowstalker, Harry, and Lurker off the top of my head. There were some others who referred to it as child abuse, which presumably means they would support removal from the home. Actually I got the impression that you held that position from the sick privilege thread, but I see that's not the case.
