So long as our collective societies refuse to provide adequate care and civil priority for our kids, this will be a moral panic as serious as Satan in rock-and-roll. And we should make sure anyone who takes this seriously never lives it down, like the ones who insisted Marilyn Manson caused the Columnine shootings.

We still have parental advisory labels as a memorial to scared politicians and their naïve followers.

We also still have children going hungry at like 20% in the US. I call shenanigans.
