Wow, so hard for me to grasp. I didn't know. When I was young I used to climb on trees all the time. I remember one incident where a neighbour called my mother and told her that I was doing that and that she should tell me to stop this as it was dangerous. My mother told her that this was none of her business. For such a drastic measure (taking ones child away) much more severe neglect is needed here in Austria (e.g. drug abuse, violence,...)

- graeme 9y agoThat's the way it should be. Unsure why it's different in North America. I think it's because the agency faces severe consequences from a false negative, so they err on the side of false positives. It is also very hard to get the bureaucracy to drop a case once it has been brought to their attention.
