There are many bad outcomes to unattended children that don't involve kidnapping (think uncommon but normal childhood injuries of kids on playgrounds).
That being said, none of the facts presented here indicate that CPS action would have been warranted.
- Gordonjcp 4y ago> think uncommon but normal childhood injuries of kids on playgrounds Which is how (and why) I learned first aid, when I was - I can't even remember how old, single digits anyway. Right-wingers in the US would give their children guns before they gave them basic life skills.
- CapricornNoble 4y agoIs self-defense not a basic life skill? A blade might be a better choice than a firearm for a young child though. Either a karambit or maybe a Fairbarn-Sykes Fighting Knife.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoMaybe if you live in a shithole third-world country where they might reasonably expect to be shot at school or something.
- CapricornNoble 4y agoHave you considered the possibility that there are physical security threats to children besides school shooters? Kidnappers, bullies, gangs, thieves, etc... How many of them would still want to put hands on a 7 year old if it means possibly getting their guts ripped open by the tool-wielding equivalent of a velociraptor claw? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WckWFmgi8Fg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WckWFmgi8Fg
- bagacrap 4y agoThis entire comment chain surely must be satire.
- bagacrap 4y agowhat is "uncommon but normal"? I don't know how supervision would prevent playground injuries. I broke my arm in a soccer game when I was 9, surrounded by adults. Life went on?
