Should parents get one extra vote per child?

Just because the kids aren’t old
enough to vote, their interests should still be accounted for right?

I don't want the Duggars to have 19x voting power.

Not an aligned incentive for society. 

In a way an extension of helicopter parenting. 

Troublesome especially for the child who grows into a teen with disagreements over the voting perspective of the parents.

I assumed it would be majority custody = vote

The helicopter parenting is an interesting take

My reason for posting was curiosity about who has a stake but not a say in society 

So less about the adults

Yeah I guess I didn’t think about how parents could voluntarily choose to let the kids make the choice

I can dig that - and it's a good intention and discussion for sure. 

A pro could be that if parents did have an extra vote per child, each family could decide when the kid gets "voting" rights i.e. they're making the decisions for the votes the parents cast

Interesting idea to ponder, thanks for opening it up
