In deed this statement is nonsense. The state and their central bankers held the family unit captive for so long by utilizing the fiat scam techniques/systems. It is very sad to see able-bodied husbands and wives become so irresponsible in their daily affairs and then pushing responsibilities to the states to handle, I guess simply because they think the states have the "money" via printing more of it to take care of every single citizen.

"This goes back to some of earliest theorists of the sovereign state and absolutism, such as Jean Bodin who described the family as the “true image of a Commonweal.” The absolutist king James I of England declared in 1609 that “Kings are compared to fathers in families: for a king is truly parens patriae, the politic father of his people.”" This sounds so corrupt, but I have to say, what a king would do. Was James 1 the one that proclaimed he was his own church?

For the simple reason of divide and conquer, the state wants families to be dysfunctional. So they will have to depend on the system to survive, divorced mothers, drug-addicted children, things like that. A family that has no problems does not need the state to survive.
