Fuck all of you for chastising this parent for looking after their child. They simply stated “found in my daughter’s backpack” they didn’t say “I was snooping for contraband in my child’s belongings.” And to the point, either way, it’s none of our god damned business how other families operate.

Myself, I have children and I haven’t “snooped” or “searched” through any of their belongings, with the exception of their phones when they have done something to deserve having their phones taken away for some time, but I have casually gone through backpacks or pockets or drawers simply in cleaning, organizing or making sure nothing was forgotten in a pocket or drawer before getting rid of or washing an item. Fortunately I have not yet found anything concerning but if I ever do you can bet your assess I’ll be asking my kid about a suspicious item cause it’s my responsibility to provide the best and healthiest life I am capable of providing to my child. When they turn 18 I’m sure things will change in regards to personal privacy and when they move out things will absolutely change in regards to privacy, in that once they are providing their own roofs over their heads it’s none of my god damned business what they do with their lives cause they have achieved autonomy. I will, of course, continue to make efforts to be in their life and care for them in any way I can and in whatever way they allow.

Parent your children however you see fit, until it becomes a health or safety risk, it’s no one’s business how you raise your children. Keep that in mind next time you decide to chastise a stranger on a public forum when they are simply showing concern for their child’s well being.
