A father pushes back against being accused of child neglect for letting his kid use the bathroom alone. The accuser compares it to a Nevada casino case where children were murdered, a comparison he calls absurd and dangerous to reasonable parenting.
Chapters
I got grief because I was, I let my kid pee in a bathroom. She says, I heard about that. That's child neglect. I said, excuse me? What? She said, that's child neglect. I said, are you out of your mind? And so this was the person and we went in, we got into verbal fisticuffs. She started citing, there was a case, a kid got murdered in a casino in Nevada. Like a few months before this happened. Okay. The kid was left alone, the kitten, and I think it was a little girl and her brother or sister, someone like a 6-year-old and a 4-year-old or something like that. And they were left alone in the casino. The father was gambling the whole time, didn't watch them for hours, and the kid got murdered. I said, you're comparing that to a father standing outside a door in a restroom and he says, yes, you could have gotten murdered. That's child neglect.
