> I really worry about them being outcasts just by being raised like we all were.

Seeing all the kids my kids play with, the ones who seem to turn out the most well rounded aren’t the ones without screen time but the ones without helicopter parents.

You’d be surprised how many of these kids have never been outside of their parents line of sight, even at middle school age.

My kid's school won't even release the child off the bus without a parent present. I let my kid walk on my own property and it wasn't 30 seconds before a Karen drove up to interrogate them about why they are "alone." It's gotten pretty crazy. Any asshole who wants veto powers on your parenting can punish you for weeks, and the geniuses who wrote the reporting laws make it illegal for you to even find out who your accuser is. Enforcers of the state are often happy to indulge their psychopathy, yes probably nothing will happen (though occasionally does), but in the process they scare the shit out of the child and the process is the punishment.

The USA badly needs a mass rewrite of negligence law, and the end of anonymous CPS complaints, before we can reasonably expect the helicopter insanity to end.

If someone reported you to CPS and you found out who, what would you do with that information?

Exercise my right to face my accuser. Sue them of course, this is America.

I suspect they would be drinking through a straw for a month or so and then complaints would stop :) OP’s comment is too funny!!!
