With respect to the social question of the child, there is a fundamental error. It is about reforming reformers: we all need to change. We are the adults, and the child depends on us; his suffering, despite our good intentions, comes from us. If, because of an error on our part, these evils are produced, then the attitude of the adult must be reformed.
