I disagree with your claim that it's a right. And would you look at that? So does the UN.

I would agree that gaiting information from a child isn't abusive, but like many things it's not without nuance.

  • Santa? Sure, whatever.
  • Went out for drinks, but act like you were working late? Not great, but that's your perogative.
  • Refuse to let the school teach about traffic lights, because you don't like cars, and don't drive? Uh. That's gunna cause some issues down the road. (Pun very much intended)

Generally I think it just comes down to under preparing them for life. It's not abusive, but intense cases of it could start approaching neglect. The Wikipedia page for child neglect does mention this:

Educational/developmental neglect is the failure to provide a child with experiences for necessary growth and development, such as not sending a child to school or educating them.
