Child abuse deaths highlight need for homeschool regulation

Child abuse deaths are fueling a debate over increased regulation of homeschooling. Recent high-profile cases have prompted calls for stronger oversight, as some argue abusers exploit homeschooling to hide abuse. Opponents contend regulations unfairly target all homeschooling families and are an overreach of government. Homeschooling enrollment has risen significantly, leading to increased scrutiny. Advocates for regulation emphasize protecting vulnerable children, while opponents stress parental rights and the flexibility of home education.
