I was watching this video:

XsuuPMUIMEE

It's a talk on how humans used to engage in a form of cooperative child care. It doesn't really talk about the process of comprehensive allo-parenting or the prospect of going backt othat form of parenting (that is, kids being raised by people other than just their parents.) Does anyone have any material that would address this subject specifically? I tried looking up "allo-parenting" and nothing really comes up about humans. "Cooperative child care" just brings up cooperative daycares. And "social parenting" just uncovers how parents interact with their kids on social media. Kind of hitting a wall.

The best examples you will have of this in modern times is the experience in the Kibbutz communities in Israel

As side issue this system of education might be something that interests you
