    Hi, I'm a Anarcho-communist so I disagree with your argument from property rights since I don't think property rights are a moral absolute. Personal Property is right I recognize but these in practice act fundamentally differently. however, but I generally agree with the outcome you came to but I use bodily autonomy to justify this. you can see bodily autonomy as an extension of personal / private property rights, but I say bodily autonomy is a right unto itself that deserves to be codified on it's own. This being said if you as a parent agree to the same rules as your child I.E. you child can ground you then this can still be groundings. There can still be rules created for parent and child that are ethical that allow for a real guardianship experience but again I agree that as a society we still even in today’s day and age granted a better clause of rights that children deserve. I also want to object to the idea that a child necessarily loves their parent. Love is born of trust and if a parent violates that trust, using your example taking a child’s things without just cause, a child will become confused on what love means and what safe boundaries are if they are told they still love their parents because they "have to". This is a terribly damaging assumption being made. there are two forms of forcing someone to stay in a particular area, you have criminalized force, where it is a kidnapping, and the police use of force, where you are arrested. going back to your universalization of principles. if we allow this in society as a whole the sanctioned use of force then in a familial setting this must also be replicated. Listening to the end of what you had recorded it seems at least in this stage of your life you believed in anarcho-Capitalism. “true unregulated capitalism”. So it makes sense we would be at odds but agree with the desired outcomes.
