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
