The entire checklist you gave deals with only violent type abuse. There are other kinds though whereas the parents knowingly manipulate their children.

I knew a very left-wing woman once, A good friends sister. She had two boys and left her husband. I was sharinga winter rental on the beach with her brother, it was a big house so I said sure she could move in.

Her kids seemed well adjusted but she was extreme with her left-wing libertarian philospohies. She insisted on home-schooling and all natural medical treatments, she did sleep in the same room with her kids but never used the term co-sleeping. She was manipulative but her kids seemed happy and she seemed centered on their development.

Long story short... after she moved out she was found out somehow and her kids were taken away. She had been sexually abusing them. Looking back there were some signs though none would fit the ones in the link that you gave. But the signs were there just as they are in the story of these parents.

So it all subjective and kids should just randomly be yanked from their homes to make sure parents aren’t abusing them?

You sir/madam are not a conservative. You are a nanny stater.

Actually the checklist included neglect and even emotional abuse along with sexual abuse. It also said that with sexual abuse also came neglect.

Oh, oh, Dear Leader, investigate me!!!!!!!! I do those things!

Our seven year old sleeps with us about half the time, too. She is kind of a scaredy cat and feels safer with us. But I'm sure she'll be a messed up grown up because of it, right? Would you do me the honor of telling me when that behavior should not be allowed? Cause I just can't figure out this whole parenting this thing without your input.

I am a bad mamma jamma I tell you. I'm pretty sure we would disagree philosophically on lots of stuff. You should probly take my kids away.
