Sounds more like a drastic reclassification of "missing". Per your own numbers, you admit that it includes runaways, which isn't even close to being the same as kidnapping.

Which is a perfect moment to teach your kids that the police are the bad guys and that you should never, ever trust them or go to them for help. Sad, but true.

Really, dumbass? Even after at least reading the summary of this post, you still kiss CPS's ass and think that they're always right? You're what we call a "special kind of stupid".

Despite the fact that crime rates are less than half of what they were 20 years ago and that you were are far more risk than your kids would be? Once again, the 24/7 "news" channels win by convincing parents that there's a boogeyman around every corner and that crime is through the roof.

I'm well aware of the difference in definitions, I'm pointing out how foolish the system is that you pick random retards off the street (basically, anyone too dumb to come up with an excuse to not be on jury duty) and expect them to be able to understand evidence and draw intelligent conclusions.

Well, at least in the US, it's supposed to be "a jury of your peers", so they should select only from people with similar qualifications and similar intelligence. I'd never be worried about going before a jury of my peers, but I'd never want my fate in the hands of the average retards picked for jury duty.

Except headphones are uncomfortable (and also some tasks, like trying to concentrate on reading a document, don't work so well with music playing in your ears), so you're still distracted.

Sounds more like you just shouldn't be driving then, if you're aware that you can't be in control of your vehicle at all times.

It's entirely about running wild, especially since children don't have the mental capacity / reasoning skills to understand "why" what they did was wrong. Fear of getting spanked they understand and can remember, a long rant about "This hurts mommy's feelings" does nothing but bore them and provides them no incentive not to repeat the same behavior. There is a time for positive reinforcement as well as negative reinforcement, as well as methods of discipline changing over time as the child gets older and their intelligence increases.

So if a cop gets a warrant to search your home and finds nothing, that automatically makes you a criminal?

Every parent who lets their kid runs wild says what you just wrote, it doesn't make it true.

Let me see how well behaved said neuroscientist's kids are. If their kids act like total brats, then clearly their method doesn't work.

But if they don't have evidence, then they are not criminals. So, either they're willfully letting known criminals commit crimes so they can use it to justify spying on innocent people, or they are labeling people criminals without evidence.

Well, that also only works if you live long enough to have the charges thrown out. As we've seen recently, even peacefully protesting being arrested can result in being executed without trial and no charges filed against your attackers.

FYI, courts have ruled it's perfectly legal for a cop to have sex with a hooker before arresting her for prostitution.
