Would you say the same for the many parents that are in jail for abusing their children?

The government is the one who will put your parents to jail if they neglect you. Most of the arguments that I have seen regarding parents being allowed to spy on their children also apply to the government.
- TallGuyShort 7y agoOh you picked two phrases you could disagree with in isolation with reductio ad absurdum? Bravo. Yes, some people abuse children and go to jail. No, that doesn't mean that no other parent should have the ability to monitor their child. Blanket government surveillance is bad, and I said the same thing about parents spying. But I have no problem with specific cases of specific individuals judged as needing closer monitoring, like ankle monitors for flight risks.
