Who in their right mind thinks that kids playing in a fenced backyard are in danger?
I know from first hand experiences that in certain cities people and cops think of this as a concern.

Or maybe this one?

> Stark photographs have emerged of the home in which a 22-year-old woman abandoned her four children for 24 hours while she went on a drink and drugs binge. The pictures show their pitiable attempts to find some food in the family kitchen.
There are countless others.
If social services are only having a chat it doesn't seem too onerous. Obviously how they have that chat makes a difference, and it's a bad thing if they leap in with over restrictive "protective measures" in families that don't need it.
