Probably a little of column a, a little of column b, but schools do seem to push teachers to report cases they aren’t really sure about(I mean, teachers have told me this).

But one third of kids are investigated by CPS- thé bottom 1% of parents are not having 33 kids apiece, just mathematically CPS is investigating not bottom-1% parents. And the same logic holds for 5 or even 10 percent, as well.

You know, if Australia’s not going to have freedom of speech anyways, it actually seems better to crack down on gross fetishism than not.

What definition would you suggest? You have to have some cutoff, the general case of murder isn't a mass shooting.

The risk factors for mass shooting are actually known- biological males from broken homes, with either known mental disorders or Islam. A tailored policy would be unconstitutional, but it is very possible.

Society is pretty chill about most mass shooters being biologically male because biological males form 50% of the population or thereabouts- you can't not be chill about it.

So technically humans are R-selected compared to our close relatives, because we have more kids when their big siblings are still in diapers. A 'natural fertility population' would have a TFR of between seven and ten, high compared to great apes. Of course we're K-selected compared to wolves, which have more similar family structures to people than great apes do.

That doesn't sound Roman. That sounds Greek, particularly Athenian or Macedonian(Sparta preferred foreign bribes over directly extracting tribute).

Uh, most CPS reports are generated by large institutions with expansive reporting policies as a form of ass-covering, particularly schools and hospitals. Not neighborhood busybodies.

Homeschooling families can get away with a lot more because almost all stupid, frivolous, or borderline CPS reports are made by large institutions, particularly schools.

This ignores a confounding variable- the overwhelming majority of CPS reports come from state mandated reporters(mostly teachers), and there's probably cycles in how sensitive those state mandated reporters are. An increasing reportage percent in the early two thousands has an obvious explanation- with the Catholic Church and BSA sex abuse scandals in the news, reporting requirements got stricter and continuing ed for those reporters got more intense. That probably explains the increase in 2000's investigation rates by itself.
Answering your questions-
-
I see preteen children out and about by themselves, on bicycles or walking, pretty regularly in the summer, usually traveling in groups. I see kids playing in front yards a lot too.
-
I was allowed to walk to the library or the convenience store at an early age, perhaps ten is fair. I didn't get sent to the grocery store until I could drive, possibly for cargo-related reasons, but I did get sent into the grocery store while my mom sat on her phone in the parking lot.

Today twenty year olds are not allowed to date 15 year olds(17 year olds sûre, that happens).

It's very common for older kids. Either homeschool for most things with some classes(either online, or community college, or...) taken on the side, or a dedicated hybrid program(readily available but often requires a religious test).

Children do not stay children forever, and 18 years is a legal fiction. Kids grow up, and develop, fast. The baby stage is going to be over soon(toddlers and infants are very different). And little kids are different from toddlers- and in turn, older kids are different from little kids.

IIRC American Orthodox Jews have some awareness that their gravy train isn't unlimited and are (slowly)adapting to needing to compete in a modern society.

Whatever things you might have enjoyed in life before them is completely gone, for the rest of your life. Every waking moment of your life outside of work will be completely occupied by taking care of monstrous creatures that make every single bodily function besides breathing as difficult as humanly possible.

Pink was for boys and blue was for girls as recently as the victorians.

A very consistently popular franchise is Little House on the Prairie, a story about an acceptable-for-the-time romance between a bright fifteen year old girl and a mid twenties man, but it's all good because he knows her dad. Blackface is common and wholesome entertainment, suffragettes are treated as obviously insufferable shrews who only think the things they do because they're too bitchy for any man to want to marry, and indians are viewed as something between horrible savages and pest animals.

While not an intellectually consistent approach, many people are not intellectually consistent. The worldview that 'we should be nice to trans people, but changing your sex isn't really real, so we should humour it for the goodies but not the baddies' doesn't seem terribly uncommon among moderate progressives.

Cristo Rey high school is a special school for at risk youths(that is literally what a 'Cristo Rey Jesuit high school' is. It's a program that swings back and forth between woke nonsense and doing real but limited good through the usual mentorship route), and them reverting to the normal extracurriculars of at risk youths every so often is to be expected. It's not really a 'school shooting' in the sense of 'mentally ill guy with lots of red flags randomly killing people'.

It's Canada. They already have more gun control than they ever thought they were going to.

Social conservatism at the level of 'women go to school but need to treat marriage as more important than career' does seem to mildly boost fertility relative to comparable countries, though- Italy and Japan have low TFR overall, but high for their regions.

In hot climates you try to do outdoor labour in the morning and evening, with a long break in the middle of the day(la siesta). In cold climates you try to work straight through with a short lunchbreak.

My understanding is that he's extremely popular among Latinas of varying classes, but often not the menfolk. We have examples of that in American pop music(Taylor Swift being perhaps the most prominent), so it's not an unusual phenomenon.
It’s worth noting that twitterati who have crunched thé numbers found, unsurprisingly, that high income men prefer women with high education while having little preference on income.
