Parental obligations

Ideally, how should court rooms go about defining parent obligations objectively?

I know objectivists agree that there needs to be an arbitrary age of adulthood, and that a child does not have all of the same rights as an adult. However, a child is also not an adult's property

- Would parents be allowed to circumcise their children?

- Would parents be obligated to provide an education of some form? Another person in this forum brought that up, that there would need to be an objective definiton of education, and the parent would be obligated to provide that definition. Is it really the government's duty to make sure that all kids are educated?

- Are there any penalties that should be placed on parents, other than physically abusing children?
