The parents who wouldn't be responsible. Aren't going to be responsible just because there's laws. They never have been. And realistically it's just going to punish otherwise decent ones who due to circumstances beyond their knowledge failed.
Make considerations for child neglect and endangerment charges considering such things when it's appropriate. That's workable/palatable. But the state policing basic social interaction is dystopian as fuck and screaming for abuse. No thanks. The state isn't worthy of that sort of trust in the first place. Not one of them. Leave it to the families and communities, focus on helping them to succeed. It's cheaper and more effective.
