"irresponsible parenting" is the reality.

Governments make laws to protect everyone. That's why there's laws protecting children from a variety of things, including their parents in some situations.

You're citing a perfect world where parents should be doing what they should be, but not everyone does, unfortunately.

The laws exist, which means Wikia absolutely has obligations to fulfill, just like the rest of us have obligations to fulfill.
