Are you asking me if I believe children are chattel? If so, no, of course not. That said, I generally agree with 88GT's assessment of what the government's role in relation to children (or anyone, for that matter) should be. If harm has been done to person or property, or if fraud has been committed, attempting to correct that is one of government's few legitimate roles. Preventing possible harm without due process should never be the purview of the government.
Sadly CPS organizations around the country have a history of far overstepping the bounds of harm. Are these isolated incidents? I don't know the statistical case load breakdown, but I pray that is the case. That said, any time any governmental organization, whether charged with protecting children or national defense, oversteps its bounds it needs to be corrected whether through being abolished or reformed, both of which should be on the table for any serious discussion.
Does that make me "chattel adherent"? I don't think so, but you're free to form your own opinion.
If you're asking if I adhere to your perception of Price or her "followers", your repeated travel down this line indicates to me that you're far too hung up on the influence of this individual, especially on such a diverse population as those who decide, for whatever reason, that their children would be better educated at home than in a more formal setting. Political parties under any banner march far more in lockstep in their philosophies across individual membership than homeschoolers ever will.
