There are other behaviors that are not legally proven to be harmful to children, but many believe are.
   What about a parents right to choose that their children are damaged and thus should be protected from other behavior, such as seeing other parents verbally abusing their own children, as in a supermarket where a parent is yelling threats at their own disruptive children ?  Should the abusive parent be arrested, taken to court and then have to prove that they were not being abusive ?
