I completely agree, it's wild to hear as an Australian as well. I've never ever heard of anyone having any issues with social services being called on them. If anything, it's really hard to separate children from their parents...

Sometimes I also catch threads/tiktoks/comments talking about sex trafficking in the US as well. Where there's an ever present fear their child is going to get abducted and sold into prostitution? And I can't tell if that's a genuine fear or a completely manufactured one. Seems implausible to me.
