Maybe if those neighbors were rich they could hire a nanny and have more leisure time and neglect their kids in the same way that a billionaire with three partners and ten kids must certainly neglect theirs.

> Child services people who turn a blind eye to abuse and let kids die because it's too much work to deal with it.
Because child services is critically underfunded and poverty is rampaging through our country. The richest one on earth.
> Your neighbors who assault and beat their kids.
Yes, more monsters, but not on the scale of someone who enslaves children and adults en-masse in foreign countries in order to suppress wages in their own country.
> Those people are your neighbors...unlike the billionaires that people harp on about.
Not unlike each other at all. They are the same narcissists and psychopaths, just with less power.

You have to get a sense of scale. Your neighbor slapping around his kid is obviously less important than the death of a child, and the death of a child is obviously less important than the deaths of 1000 children. We killed a million children in Iraq before the post 9/11 invasion.
Those people are your neighbors...unlike the billionaires that people harp on about. Monsters are all around you. Just look to your left and right.
