I mean, it depends on what we're talking about, right? I think it'd be bad to murder my kids, and I would absolutely support a law preventing someone from murdering theirs. So, there's a line somewhere, sure.
Okay, here's a better story:

If the facts presented here are accurate, this is pretty fucked up, I think. Although, like this kid was seven and didn't know his birthdate? It seems like he was acting real fucking weird. I still wonder if there's something else going on. If the cop picks up the kid, takes him home, lectures the mom, then... arrests her on the spot? That's fucking weird, right?
The other stories they mention about letting a kid wander around a park while they work a shift at McDonalds is pretty fucked up if it was like 6-8 hours or something. The lady who left her kids alone in a car is messed up.
It seems to me like these laws are like the truancy bullshit California had, where you are just punishing parents who need help and making the situation worse. All of these stories seem to show laws that aren't working how they were intended and we need to fucking make daycare cheaper, man. We pay ~$400/week for fulltime daycare for a one-year-old. I couldn't afford that shit if I was single and working at McDonalds.
