To combat the rise of disrespect for parental authority and to preserve family wealth, the world government passed a law that allows parents to place an irrevocable/untouchable lien on their disobedient children’s future earnings, depositing the money in a family trust long before student debt, underwater mortgages and government wealth redistribution programs reduce parents’ investment of time and money in their progeny.

Parents now have the right to make supersocial decisions about their children who waste talent and time on frivolous activities — the children may be sold into virtual servitude to large multinational corporations and the parents allowed to convert the proceeds of the sale into the fabrication of new children for the chance to create more obedient citizens, thus giving the parents an opportunity to show their dedication to preserving their subculture one more time.

The cycle may not be repeated more than three times; after that, the government may have the parents’ childrearing methods observed more closely — those who display abnormal parenting methods will be sent to retraining camps for central nervous system reconfiguration.

Same for disobedient children who refuse to obey their new multinational corporate leaders.

Those who are completely ornery may be sent to recycling centers at any time after two attempts at retaining.
