Parents’ Rights Vs Children’s Needs

Lawyers back this up: Around 62 percent of them believe the laws favour parents’ rights over children’s needs.
Do you think that parents’ rights should outweigh children’s needs (unless in cases of proven abuse/violence)? I feel that parent’s should have rights to their children unless we are somehow not living in a free society.

I can see that children’s needs are important but I believe that parent’s rights to a child they brought into the world should be also. As long as their child’s basic needs are being met and they are not coming to any harm I believe that parent’s rights should be paramount to the decisions of custody.
