While I'm all about involved parenting, I think that this headline is hyperbole. I read the documentation and watched the video and I didn't get the impression that they were actually promoting child neglect. Furthermore, the whole thesis of this post is based on an argument from silence that relies upon the premise that parents are "habitually" absent. In fact, in many of the scenes the parents are present and there to receive and applaud the child after she'd done something on her own. Additionally, the author's definition of neglect is quite aggressive and, as above, based on missing information from the project and not on the information provided. While I appreciate and understand the author's desire to protect children, the post itself seems overly alarmist and based more on opinion than fact.
