To say we should sterilise people with repeated child neglect or abuse cases?

If you’ve failed multiple children, shouldn’t society step in to prevent further harm?

It is stepping in by removing subsequent children from cate. Often, at birth. If you start sterilizing "unworthy" parents, where does it end? I think we know where from history examples.

It's controversial but I agree. Maybe not mandatory but as something that can be offered to slightly reduce jail time.
