I don't have an answer that doesn't involve the parents manning up and beating the **** out of their druggie son, or the abusive mother, which probably isn't the best course of action. I'm not exactly great parent material myself, which is why I chose a long time ago not to have children.
However, forcing abortions and sterilizations is inherently wrong on every level.
What about taking children away from their parents? I mean that obviously goes against human nature. It causes such psychological distress in parents to see their children taken away from them. We see this throughout the animal kingdom among all species that care for their offspring. But as a society we do this because we recognize children inherently have rights not to be abused or neglected.
What's the criteria for sterilization? How do they determine who goes under the knife to have their organs forcibly removed from their bodies? What if they make a mistake and permanently damage an innocent person? What if all they need is just a little growing up, and given the chance, would turn out to be wonderful parents?
Certainly a valid question. Long-term birth control?
You can't give someone back their reproductive abilities, and we may as well just be putting them up against a wall to shoot them.
That's not true.
