That's good stuff MG. Parts of it reminded me of certain provisions in the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. I think all parents should read that and consider how they are respecting their children's rights.
Unfortunately, many parents, especially those in cults and high demand groups put their own selfish interests and greed before their children, and think they have some "god given" right to force their own beliefs, no matter how vile, on their children in violation of their inherent rights, which they have as autonomous human beings.
You can read the Convention here:
