I'd love to see people do some PSAs on this. A campaign for people to back the fuck off. Mom leaves child at home to shop; evil music plays; kid looks like he might get into trouble; nothing happens and everyone smiles at the end with some statistics on how it's pretty safe.

INT. HOME - DAY A MOTHER is getting ready to leave the house. Her TODDLER is sitting in his playpen. MOTHER (Warmly) I’ll just be gone for a few minutes, buddy! TODDLER (Pleased, without understanding) Gah! The door slams and a nosy NEIGHBOR appears immediately outside the window. Seeing the unattended TODDLER, the NEIGHBOR gasps, and calls 911. NEIGHBOR Hello? Yes, a woman has just left her baby unattended! Two police officers appear. OFFICER #1 arrests the NEIGHBOR. The MOTHER, returned, holds the TODDLER as both watch the NEIGHBOR’s arrest. Before getting into the cruiser, the NEIGHBOR turns to OFFICER #2. NEIGHBOR (Weeping) But...why? OFFICER #2 (With visible lack of sympathy) You’ve caused more trouble today than you could statistically have prevented.

  Have an upvote well deserved. Thank you for making me laugh, even on a serious matter as this.

    Thanks. I just wanted to highlight the absurdity, as it’s an issue I care about; if I’m ever a parent, I don’t want self-proclaimed do-gooders meddling in my family’s affairs.

  I mean, also, the neighbor was trespassing on the mother's property and spying on her baby. That's pretty freaking creepy and a lot like harassment.

  I, too, am pleased, although not without understanding - Gah!
