Comment on Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 4 days agoNo no it doesn’t again outside of your fantasy. Almost all harm that comes to kids unfortunately comes from people who are close to said kid.
Did you think there are random people on facebook waiting for a picture of a kid so they can somehow find that kid? Your perspective is demented.

What fantasy? Check who you rely to.
Kids bicycling is perfectly safe around where i live.
Posting kids’ photos on the internet is never safe unless you take serious precautions (like covering the whole face).
Btw OP’s post is about child mutilation, not photos.

No not it isn’t its in fact far more dangerous than your drive to work by the numbers.
There is no reason to believe someone’s face being posted on the internet is a substantial risk because although kids do get hurt or killed the overwhelming factors are trust by kids and family members and in a tiny minority of cases either opportunity created by the kids being unsupervised and perceptibly vulnerable or tricked into communicating with a bad person.
There is no reason to believe any significant number of cases had its genesis in a situation whereby the perp saw the kids face posted on facebook and said that kid that kid is the one I’m going to kidnap whereas cases that had their genesis in physical opportunity or trust are incredibly common.
How in your mind DOES this work. Do you think that snatchers are furiously combing facebook for kid faces and then doing detective work to identify and surveil the location looking for an opportunity to do the snatch? Does this sound real?
Studies show that we are terrible at understanding the magnitude of risk of uncommon events and drastically over estimate uncommon risk and underestimate commonly faced risks. For example the number of kids who were attacked because their face was posted on facebook in 2025 is probably zero but almost a thousand people per year die on bicycles and 400,000 are injured and end up in the emergency room.
Bikes are very dangerous. Posting your tike’s face… not so much. The dangerous people are statistically the perverts you will stupidly trust because you have shitty judgement WHILE obsessing about not posting their face on facebook.

Cute how you seem to know so well my neighborhood.
As for the rest of your rant, just read up on Grok’s latest fuck up. Have a nice day.

The stats say that very few kids are hurt by unknown predators but many in fact are hurt on bikes. The stats also say that predators don’t hunt by waiting slavering over facebook waiting for your to post your kids face and tracking them down in real life.
They mostly hunt by ingratiating themselves with the parents. The minority do so by grooming your kid online by direct communication. A VERY VERY tiny amount do so by waiting for your kid to be vulnerable in real space and snatching them. I have literally never in life even heard of someone who got their kids hurt by posting their faces on facebook but there are countless who got groomed by family, priests, teachers,friends who people trusted.
Turn on your brain.
