Different cultures have varying customs on when children should have a regular bed of their own. Intact families are left to their own choices on this usually without interference from the state. The issue becomes critical when a mother in a custody dispute enmeshes her children by keeping them in her bed. I call that an aspect of emotional incest on the part of the mother against the children. It is rare but welcome that a judge would act on this.
