Do you know how much hell has been unleashed into the lives of those children, because a self-righteous pig-fornicator decided they had to call the cops and stay there until the mother was arrested “for the children”?
Do you even recognize that they were hurt badly by the state intruding into their lives?
Do you know how much in lawyer’s fees, and that the mother has to live in mortal terror now, because now she is recognized as an “irresponsible parent” to the point of having been arrested?
Likely not. Because feelgood, because for the children.
On several occasions I’ll see a kid that seems a bit too young and alone and keep an eye on them. Shortly mom or dad comes into view.
One time, outside the video store, there was a car with 5 or 6 kids in it, all pretty young (8 or younger). I watched for a bit and no adult. I walked over to the car, driver’s window down, keys in the ignition.
I looked at the oldest boy and asked where their mom was.
“Inside.”
“Okay. I’m going to take the keys and give them to your mom.”
Once inside I called out loudly “Excuse me. Who is the person with all the kids out in the car. I have your keys!”
The lady sheepishly ran up and got them. I’m glad I didn’t get shot reaching into the car (but I was looking!).
Maybe I was a jerk, but hey - I didn’t call the cops!
