In both cases you usually don't see whether the parents left their child intentionally or not.
Whatever the real reason, harassing the parents is quite a judgement based on a statistics with sample size 1.
- gph 10y agoI never contended that we should harass the parents in question. I'm against litagating parenting. Everyone in this thread is really twisting my words to their own perceptions. Point I'm making is directed at the study, which contends that our moral judgements should have no impact on how we assess the risk to a child. Even though I think our morals are heavily skewed and unnecessary, I bet they at least point in the correct direction of what the risk to a specific child is as compared to the average statistical risk to all children.
