Of course every child should have the right to grow up in a positive environment, and it would be wonderful if this could always be the case, but it's just not possible. Like many have already stated, there would be so many issues with a 'parental license' that it's just not a feasable option.
I do however, agree with the idea of having some sort of required high school course on parenting. Granted it wouldn't even come close to solving all the bad parenting out there, but it's certainly better than not being educated at all.
