I think you might have misinterpreted my comment as an argument about moral.

Leaving babies to cry or separating them from their mothers for extended periods of time is primarily a health issue which I believe should concern society. [1][2][3] Unfortunately, it fits our economic model very well -- so there is that.

No, I asked you what we were discussing because it sounded like you were talking about right or wrong.

If you want it to concern society perhaps first you need to make clear what it is you are trying to avoid.

I don't see any evidence which proves some larger societal problem.
