You’re right. They’d put that parent in a cell for life if they could do so.
I’m so disappointed in all the policemen that are doing the bidding of the tyrants.
They actually would do a lot more than prison, frankly. They would gladly cause the imprisonment in, say, a DC Abu Ghraib where unspeakable atrocities could eventually occur.
All it takes is a little help and then looking the other way. It happened in Germany and all those nearby towns where the ‘citizens’ just ignored what was going on.
