>Just a housekeeping note: it seems a lot of the arguments in this thread have entrenched into parents rights vs child’s rights. No, it's "parent's rights" vs. "concern troll's" rights. Blessing arbitrary "bUt I tHoUgHt It WaS aBuSe" complaints with the guns of the State is, the overwhelming majority of the time, not in a child's (or society's) best interest. That includes "when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" reporting personnel who are so very eager to "save" some kid from evil (because it's everywhere, don't you know) that they end up assuming it's everywhere, which is how a kid walking half a block down the street or playing in their front yard becomes child abuse. After all, they're trained professionals, and when have trained professionals ever been wrong about assessing risks? Besides, those employed by the bureaucracy have sovereign immunity anyway, so there will be zero personal consequences if they get it wrong: privatize successes, socialize failures.
