Why Do We Judge Parents for Putting Kids at Perceived But Unreal Risk?

Did you read the article about the two-year old? The context is that they left him for over an hour and a neighbor found him wandering around outside.

I don't know how much context was put into the actual study, and I agree that we make a lot of moral judgements without all the facts. But it seemed like the jist of the research was that our moral judgements of the parents should have no basis in our assessment of the perceived risks to a child. I refute that to an extent.

I didn't read the article about the two year old. Thank you for sharing the details! I think their research was in trying to understand why we've turned into a culture that is afraid to let their kids have freedoms that use to be common.
