The OP never said "The government is going to take my children for playing in the front yard," so I'm at a loss where you got that quote. Maybe you inferred that's what he meant when he said "I'm afraid a neighbor will report me and the government will come take my kids away." That is a very real concern. When a CPS agent comes calling, any righteous indignation on your part can easily result in your children being taken into custody. If you don't bend over and take it with a smile, they'll make it 1000x worse.

EDIT: I really wish I could down-vote things.

So you agree with keeping your child indoors because of the risk of a neighbor filing a false complaint? That is sad.

Where exactly did I say that?

You seem to love putting words into peoples mouths.

Did you not see the question mark? It was unclear if you agreed with the OP that keeps his kids indoors.

I saw the question mark. I also read the judgment right afterwards.

I am definitely not anti-vax.

Having been on the receiving end of this BS, if there was a way I could sue my neighbor for defamation over their false complaint to win something back, I would.

But since restitution is not part of the law, this is a wonderful tool to bully your neighbors with.

You make a reasonable point, but you say it very unreasonably, with unnecessary insults. This is why you're being downvoted.
