Maybe the next time your neighbors smoke and do meth don’t report it because that’s a snitch move I don’t care if you don’t like the smell it’s not going to kill your gosh!

        Yeah my bar for calling the cops is “Would this situation be improved by adding an easily frightened maniac with a gun?” which is very few situations.

        I wouldn’t want their kids to lose a parent because I called the cops on their parents for smoking meth. I’m not evil. I’m a good person. I’m helping those children by not reporting it.

          I really feel like this is going too far on the contrarian end.

          Yes foster care and care homes are bad, but I don’t think one should pretend that a child growing up in a dual meth-parent household is growing up in a safe and healthy environment.

          The kid could be a lot better off with a grandparent, aunt, or uncle. The shit part is you don’t know until things are in motion.

          That child is not in a good position and i think pretending like they are is the “own the chuds” equivalent to burning your shoes because a gay person wore a similar pair.

          Kids in homes with meth use are substantially more likely to be sexually abused, physically abused, get diseases, burns and other physical damage. Being in a meth house is not a conducive environment for being a child. Plus secondhand exposure to meth as a child is not healthy and will often result in preteens with severe liver damage.

        We’ve discovered the only time you can humanely call cops: when you live next door to one and you need that issue taken care of
