Yes. After the fact. I do not mean after the fact of the OPs story. I mean after the fact of your original general claim about leaving children in particular. Do not mix the two up. I mean one not the other. You made a claim about periods of seperation and have been steadily diluting those claims since.
Many people in fact - like that OPs story - have one or two sets of grand parents who do not see a child often. And many people in fact - when they get together with those grand parents will be prone to allowing those grand parents alone time with the child for some hours - over night - or even a number of days.
And your contention is that there is some potential for harm or damage or something similar here. All I am doing is pointing out that you have not backed up such a contention at all. Except with a link to an opinion piece - and a study which had little or nothing to do with it at all.

The steady dilution of your original claim which I just describe in my previous post is a back pedal indeed. This was not an "expansion" as your attempt at historical revisionism tries to put it. It was a dilution of the original claim.

I can not ignore what is not there. You have not presented ANY facts to back up your core claim on this issue. Until you present some - how can I "ignore" them?

So your entire basis for this claim is your gut feeling? Wow. Just wow. And off the back of this you feel fine engaging in fear mongering against parents telling them not to do something that there is no reason to think is a bad thing to do at all.

Of course it matters. Cite the data and the actual peer reviewed studies by your supposed "experts" then. Or do you mean "experts" in the sense of - like you did before - cherry picking and linking to opinion pieces by people who have a few letters after their name?

Who knows your motivation. I certainly do not claim to. But warning people of the harms of doing something without the first piece of evidence that there is any harm in doing it is - to me - nothing more than fear mongering.
