But like I said there are some things parents could teach that would be considered child abuse, what's interesting to me is where is that line? Can we make a line at all?

I don't think we can, in a free society its the right of parents to bring up their children as they see fit.
I think the only thing is to bring about awareness, for example I imagine there are much fewer children being taught today that gay people are evil/bad/sinners compared to say 30 years ago.
