Some parents abuse their kids.

Child welfare workers are supposed to stop that to protect the kids.

"Children have a right to safety," says Tim Keller. "If home is a danger, we as a society have to step in and protect those children."

Keller, legal director of the Center for the Rights of Abused Children, is a libertarian.
