Although I agree that many people just arent fit to be parents, a child license would only be a good idea if it werent too difficult to obtain a license or the criteria wasn't too discriminating (or rather, 'picky'). But in such a case, licenses would most likely be handed out just as freely as drivers licenses and we all know how many terrible drivers there are in the world.
In the end, would it really make much of a difference? We have drivers licenses and terrible drivers. We have laws against underaged drinking and smoking. It happens. If we pass a law on Child Licenses, I have no doubt they'll be handed out all too frequently, defeating the purpose. It'll just be a slight inconvenience to sign the forms.
