People 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.
