Stellar argument. Much logic.

Yes, knowing someone's full name definitely makes finding their SSN a breeze! This is why I have credit cards in Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift & Anne Hathaway's names.

Shit. Someone should have arrested my parents like, twelve times at least. They let us wander all over town and would specifically send us out by ourselves (to the park, library, etc) but then again they're white.

Your story makes me see red.

Are you the one that called CPS on grandma for putting the baby in a pot?

You've obviously never known the horrors that being doxxed or in the public eye can bring.

I hope she sues the shit out of everyone involved with this.

A. No, it's not.

Except her actual SSN was posted online along with her name. Ferguson only had to release the cop's name because it is the law but they didn't, so... *shrugs*

This is rediculous. We live in a tiny, tiny town. Population 535. We have almost zero crime and no local police force bc we are so tiny and safe.

It's not enough anymore to pressure American mothers to be helicopter mothers. To look down upon those who didn't conform to helicopter parental standards. No. Now we must criminalize those who aren't helicopter parents. We now must arrest those who refuse to watch and pay attention to their child 100% of the time.

a. at 9 a kid can be left alone at the fucken park.
b. that is asshole thinking.

People just wanted the cop's name. This lady's Social Security number was posted online for any jerk to steal.

Pretty much. Abandoning implies that she was leaving her there with no intention of picking her up or meeting her somewhere else. The kid is 9. The world is actually SAFER now than it was 30 years ago, but kids used to ride their bikes all over and walk by themselves when they were even younger than this woman's…

Pretty much.

Yup! Guess you are!

First, isn't nine years old old enough to hang out in a public place for a few hours? Like, yeah, it's not an ideal situation, but I feel like at nine years old the kid is old enough to take care of themselves (especially if someone is coming to pick them up). My brothers and I are in our teens and twenties and we…

Finding out someone's identity through online resources.

I would be more pissed about the officer being patronizing if I hadn't met parents who honestly don't seem to think their children's well being is their responsibility. Still don't get locking her up for a first time offence though. Seems quite heavy handed. A simple "okay then don't let it happen again" seems like it…

Great. Now her identity is probably going to get stolen too. Just what the poor woman needed, more people shitting on her and making her life hard.
