As much as I do not agree with this lifestyle, or subjecting children to this stuff at a young age, it is also none of my business if a parent wants to take their kids to a drag show, the same way it is none of my business if a parent wants to feed their kid McDonald's every day or make their kid eat a vegan lifestyle. Just bc one of these topics may seem worse in the eyes of another, the truth is we are born with free will and have the right to do what we want (within legal limits of course). I think as long as your children aren't being effected directly from this we shouldn't waste our energy bashing and judging other peoples lifestyle and decisions (no matter how much you disagree with it it is none of our business).
So if the child isn't yours, you shouldn't care what the parent does to their child?
Let's follow that logic...
Should a parent be allowed to physically torture a child simply because 'it isn't yours'? No.
What about inflicting intentional emotional abuse? No.
For that matter, should someone be allowed to murder anyone they choose 'as long as the victim has no surviving family'? Should they be allowed to kill them - simply because there is 'no one directly affected'? No.
A just society protects the vulnerable -- even from psychotic parents.
Now I am fully aware that this concept can be used incorrectly - ('You're a MAGA parent, so we are taking your child') - which is why we need a properly functioning legal system.
But it is not 'none of your business' if a parent is harming a child.
It iseveryone's businessif a parent is harming a child.
The question here is - 'is this harming a child'?
People may have different answers, but my answer would be 'yes'.
Judging by your response it doesn't look like you read or understood everything I wrote, which is fine you got to get your POV across. So do you pry into everyone's homes to see if they are abusing their child? How about all of the starving children or homeless children in your community? Do you donate to them, feed them, or do anything to help those children or is it just the children the msm is focusing on at the moment that you are reacting to?
So we're not allowed to speak out against one instance of abuse unless we are aware of all of them? That's just silly.
We - as a society - need to be willing to speak out against parents who are publiclyabusing their children.
If someone organized a 'Parents Beat Your Kids at the Beach Day', should we not intervene simply because we don't know about other kids who are being beaten within their homes? I don't think so.
Organized, public, and therefore (implicitly) sanctioned abuse is horrific.
We should speak out about what we know about.
The private abuses are harder to know about, and (I assume) they usually come to light through other members of the family, or a friend of the family, etc -- not someone who is 'prying into everyone's homes'.
I'm sorry I really don't know why you are putting words in my mouth and making assumptions. My verbiage is very clear, stop posting stuff without a solution regardless of the situation. Either take action against the issue or move along. Lots of low effort posts and people acting on emotions instead taking a moment to process what the other person is trying to get across.
I hope if you have this much passion on an anonymous social media platform you are using it in your community to speak up for the issues we are speaking of. Everyone wants to have an opinion but no one wants to take action, and that is what we need!
If it is affecting you and your family directly have you done anything about it? For example, I am not bothered by this directly bc I homeschool my kids, and don't pay for cable TV where they really try to put it in your face. I also don't support the businesses that put up those flags, and if it were to be introduced in our school district I would actively speak out at the board meetings, etc. I'm not saying ignore, I'm saying unless it affects you and your family directly move along. Your mental health will thank you.

I'll point you to a separate comment I made a few days ago:

Well done you made sense there!
