I know the cops in my town would never show up. They don't show up for grand larceny at least not usually the same day.

He, in Sweden you only call the police for grand larceny, because the insurance company will ask for a police report number.

(Edit: crime in action, they might come.)

In my country, it's mandatory for the police to show up if you make a registered eponymous (not anonymous) complaint.

People are doing this, because from their perspective children might be abandoned by their parents. The reason is that playing outside is not normalised enough at the moment.

If you read this comment without context is sounds completely insane.

Kids playing outside has been the <<norm>> for hundreds of thousands of years.

Yeah, well, stop it, and put them behind a screen all day like a normal person.

Is there an epidemic of abandoned children? Why on earth would anyone even consider that a possibility
