As a former abused child, and emotional disabilities teacher, people give zero f’s about other people’s kids. They can kill them, hurt them, starve them, as long as you don’t do it to “someone else’s kid” it’s fine.

Children have ZERO control or agency over their own lives. Their quality is life is completely determined by their caretakers and they have no way out.
