We live in safer times then pretty much all of recorded history. And frankly, the 7yr old has more to fear at school with 'assault drills' and the mass shootings of some foreig.... 'mentally instable white guy'.

When did I say the schools were safe? If something bad happens to your kid while they walk down the road alone, what will the cops and CPS do to you then?

  You didn't. But you were making blanket statements about unsafe neighborhoods, which are blatantly false... Except for schools. It's funny how having a 7yr old in a small group wandering around together is some horrible thing (as you point out to mostly mythical violence), but sending kid to public school where bullying is routine and other terrible things are never considered child abuse. If I sent my child to a building for 40h a week, and they suffered 8h abuse across the week, they'd be taken from me. But since it's called "School" it's acceptable.

    This person's go-to responses to tell people to kill themselves. I think this is a violent potentially abusive person. Maybe someone should call the cops/CPS if they have kids.

      Using social services as retribution for real or perceived slights, online or otherwise, is incredibly destructive to the system and to the victims it can affect. Don't call CPS on people who insult you on the internet.

        It's clear that GP was making that comment to illustrate a point, not because they were going to call CPS on them.

        Then you'dn't've had any trouble seeing that I made that comment to illustrate a point, not because I thought they were going to call CPS on them.

  Nothing happens to children when they walk down roads alone. Almost all kidnappings are a result of people the child knows, trusts, and is otherwise close to.

This is an extreme exaggeration of the threat of mass shootings at public schools. Children have far more to fear at home or on the street than at school, which is the safest place they'll be all day.

  A joke from the comedian Trevor Moore (rip): > "What if governments learned from the MKUltra experiments in the 50's that trauma allows you to control people, so they purposely orchestrate disastrous events to keep their citizens afraid + dependent on them, and that's one of the reasons that mental illness has been rising? lol" https://twitter.com/itrevormoore/status/1400158963748917249 https://twitter.com/itrevormoore/status/1400158963748917249
