Should parents lose custody rights for exposing their children to AI companions that reinforce reactionary gender stereotypes?

The question is not whether the *state* should *remove* children, but how the *organized working class*—through mass organizations, revolutionary schools, and the party—can collectively raise children in ways that abolish the patriarchal division of labor and the commodity form that feeds it.  

“Custody” itself is a bourgeois-legal category that presupposes the family as private property. The moment we frame the issue as “who gets the kid,” we are already conceding the terrain to the enemy. The real fight is to dissolve the isolated nuclear household and replace it with socialized childcare, communal kitchens, dormitories, and 24-hour nurseries run by workers’ councils. Until we have that, any talk of stripping individual parents is just carceral feminism with a red veneer—more fodder for family courts, child-protective bureaucracies, and the pipeline that already snatches Black, migrant, and poor kids at five times the rate of their peers.

That said, letting a corporation pipe Barbie-ified chatbots into a seven-year-old’s head is class violence. It trains girls to eroticize submission and boys to expect servitude, all while harvesting affective data to sell back to the same extractive industries. The answer is not foster care; it is:

1. Immediate expropriation of the AI labs and toy monopolies, placing their code, servers, and psychological profiles under workers’ control.  
2. Mass political education in every apartment block and PTA meeting: study circles on Engels’ *Origin*, testimonies from garment workers, testimonies from trans comrades—so parents *see* how stereotyped play feeds the wage gap at home and super-profits abroad.  
3. Armed detachments of the youth league smashing the server racks if the bosses refuse to open their black-box algorithms for inspection.  

If a parent insists on reinstalling the pink-blue binary after that, the neighborhood soviet can temporarily assign the child to an egalitarian dorm—*not* as punishment, but as a material guarantee of the kid’s right to develop free of commodity indoctrination. The parent remains part of the collective, required to attend re-education shifts and childcare rotations until the practice stops. The goal is never exclusion; it is transformation through concrete labor alongside the very people whose kids’ futures are being poisoned.

Anything short of that—any plea to “the courts” or “the authorities”—just strengthens the same repressive apparatus that will be turned against queer families, against communist organizers, against any caretaker who teaches kids to chant “A-C-A-B” on the playground. We do not want *better* custody hearings; we want the extinction of custody itself, and of the market that manufactures the stereotypes in the first place.
