This is one of those things laws are great at. Delete the power of idiot Karens and the culture will return to normal.
It works for Utah (and to a point, Texas); it can work for your polity, too.
When children are at far greater risk of abuse and abduction by concern trolls and the State, and they very much are in New World countries, your society is broken.
- mmooss 2y ago> children are at far greater risk of abuse and abduction by concern trolls and the State Is there evidence of that? And would you define 'concern trolls' (beyond 'people who have concerns different than mine')?
- qball 2y ago>people who have concerns different than mine "Trying to abduct my child either directly or by proxy" is not merely a question of polite differing concerns.
- mmooss 2y agoWho is trying to do that?
- abenga 2y agoPeople who call CPS just because children are outside unaccompanied? It's obvious taking children away from the parent is a possibility when one makes that call.
- mmooss 2y agoOK, but ... those people may not be 'concern trolls' at all (whatever that means).

- ryandrake 2y agoI think in this case ‘concern troll’ means someone who can’t mind their own business and chooses to troll someone by stirring up unnecessary drama or conflict, using insincere concern as a pretext. We know the concern is insincere because the OP’s example (children playing in their yard) cannot be considered concerning by a reasonable person.
- mmooss 2y agoI think you're creating a fine definition but based on context and your own intellectual sophistication; we don't know what the author of those words meant.
- op00to 2y agoBased on my experience with children who actually need protective services help, calling about kids playing outside is not even close to getting a home visit let alone anyone taking your kids. Maybe it happens, but not in my east coast state.
- lamename 2y agoNice. What laws are you referring to?
- bluGill 2y ago"Free range" laws. You search those terms and find a ton of information including which states have them.
- atonse 2y agoBut free range laws are a good thing right? Free range laws say the opposite: that a kid over a certain age is allowed to be alone and the parents CANNOT be charged for it. It’s to encourage free range parenting.
- antisthenes 2y ago> This is one of those things laws are great at. Delete the power of idiot Karens and the culture will return to normal. How? Those idiot Karens are the ones writing the laws. They get on your state legislature and local town ordinances, and prevent more housing from being built too. They have no competence and they do everything in the name of "safety", so you can't challenge them with logic or reason. They are usually very privileged people with plenty of time on their hands so you can't play asymmetric warfare with them and expect to win.
- qball 2y agoThat does not mean attempts to defeat them should not be made. Sometimes they even succeed. Karen delenda est.
