Personally I do not understand small baby goats, and that isn't what we were speaking about, so I cannot realistically discuss a dynamic that is involved with livestock, let alone that they may attend a human school.
I thought we were speaking about children. So I will continue to answer from that standpoint.
Depends on the dynamic involved.
If the mother is the dominant - there isnt an issue is there? (OK - so I am being a little picky there).
If the mother is the slave, then the situation will already have been discussed with the dominant in advance (obviously not the situation - but the decisions on how to handle any possible outcomes will already be understood in a healthy MS dynamic).
In a healthy family environment, the child already understands where the land lies(as it were). In a traditional family set up, or a methodist one, or where there is head of the household, the child is raised to know where the hieracy lies. That isn't restricted to a MS environment only - which is why the point you are trying to make doesn't really make any sense. In a healthy MS relationship, if a Master takes responsibilty, and the slave deferes that to him, there is already an understanding. Your basic premise is no different to the stupid post (and yes they are ridiculous) of saying that 'If the master says cut off your leg and your a no limits slave, then you have to do it. Thats just bull in a healthy MS relationship that just doesnt happen. Sure it happens in bizarro world with abusive types - but what we are hopefully and specifically discussing is a healthy TPE or MS relationship - not the huge end of the extreme section of wiitwd.
But - you have to also remember that the slave has submitted to the Master - NOT the children involved. They are simply raised to understand the dynamic... they are involved, but not a part. And a mentally stable and healthy Master would not put children at risk in any way whatsoever. I know of people whos' Masters did not allow the children to come with them, because that was what was right for the child and the mother. Or to have terminations. Who are we to say that is was wrong? Do we understand the entire situation - no.
You are talking about extremes that can happen, but in - and I repeat - a healthy and productive relationship - it is what is in the best interests of those concerned. Whether you agree with it or not is moot because you have no understanding of what is involved.

The OPs model removes a slaves responsibility towards all others and places it solely upon himself.
Then that is what they have decided. Cool for them and that family. And any healthy relationship would have explained it to their children too - which people often fail and are often too scared to even suggest. Some people feel much safer when they hide and blinker their children from what life is and what people are actually capable of. If children can learn off the T.V and news what a strip club is, what is wrong with them knowing what a munch involves?
You know it is funny, but some parents actually talk to their children - strange and shocking notion huh?
That some actually know what the difference is between a muslim, and a radical muslim.
Know what the difference between a christian and a fundemental christian is.
And that being gay, isnt a strange and abnormal thing.
Or that there are these people who exist who identify themselves as Dominants.
And that one of my best friends is a switch and bi and that they can love both men and women.
They know what being mongamous means and poly.
Wow.
Fancy that?
