And depending on the age of the kids, letting your kids walk even a couple of blocks could be enough to get the cops and CPS called on you. Unfortunately, the days of letting your kids roam freely outside are over.
Only in one very specific backwards country*
Sure but we all know that's where this incident happened lol
murica things
Not in Europe. Just pick a better place to live.
I wish moving country was that simple
I mean, yeah, it's not that simple per se. But still, people from the US generally have a lot of options. Just did a quick check and for Germany, up to 90 days don't even require a visa. If you want to stay longer you still can just get here, announce your intent to stay within the first week and then sort things out. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's definitely more doable than for a lot of other places.
“Just quit your job and have enough money to travel outside the country even though you’ve never had that much money in your life and then overstay your visa in a country in which you don’t speak the language and are definitely not going to be able to use your degree… it’s totally doable!”
WTF?
It's not simple period. No caveats needed.
You clearly have no idea how hard it is to move.
Damn. Shoulda picked a better spawn point during characheter creation. Mah bad.
it surely applies also to letting them unattended in a strangers car
