The children should be rescued, permanently!

I was driving past an inner city public high school and saw a couple of pregnant youths. I want the state to raid the school, remove all children from their parents homes and conduct DNA testing to determine the fathers.
Does that sound stupid?
Yet the children at the ranch had a much healther life than the average inner city kid. If children get pregnant, no one in government cares. If the female lives with a man out of marriage, no one in government cares. But if they declare themselves as spiritual spouses, it's against the law.
I am not advocating child molestation. But this was the wrong way to handle the issue. And now that the original call was shown to be a hoax, the government is refusing to admit that the government was wrong.
