Big Government is alive and well in Austin (economic, money, state)

[Roadking2003]

Unbelievable. This is the nanny state at it's worst.

Children's book author Kari Anne Roy was recently visited by the Austin police and Child Protective Services for allowing her son Isaac, age 6, to do the unthinkable: Play outside, up her street, unsupervised.

There you have it. You are free to raise your children as you like, except if you want to actually give them a childhood. Fail to incarcerate your child and you could face incarceration yourself.

Generally speaking, any city with a large government presence does better economically, because government is really good at spending money.

She seems to be successful. I'm sure that she'd be willing to pay for police services if her unwatched kid was snatched up and taken away.

What does that have to do with Austin being a liberal run cesspool?

Fun Fact, something bad happened somewhere that is either associated with the government or a liberal area. Obviously it's the Liberal's fault.

It's kinda like when a kid does well after growing up in a very bad household. Sometimes good things happen in spite of the environment.

So you think kids should be prohibited from playing outside by themselves? Pathetic. I played almost outside almost every day as a kid. It's normal.
