But you also believe that the child is not its own, independent entity.
The child became its own independent entity when its parents left it to nature and providence. Unfortunately providence cursed the child with shitty parents, and nature eats its own young. Prior to that, a child is its parents.

And replying to Kraco's quote:
I'd bet it's statistically safe to say that most cases where a kid is temporarily separated from the parent(s) end up having no dire consequences. It actually happens all the time. Just listen to people reminiscing their early childhood and you will eventually hear stories of how horrible it is to notice your mommy isn't anymore standing next to you. Most cases are much shorter than the one in this video, but on the other hand getting into a traffic accident doesn't take more than a fleeting moment.
No 2 year old remembers shit about being 2. This one, if she lives, won't even remember getting run over, much less that mommy wasn't next to her.
