US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

  1. No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

Remember you're talking about kids too. Who can't consent or make these choices.

Unfortunately, they are victims of their parents willful ignorance. Nothing we can do but thoughts and prayers.

Agree but I wouldn't say "fuck em" to child victims of sexual abuse (as example), or anything else they can't control.

I get the leopards eating faces part of this, I'm just calling out that there are innocent victims that don't have any control

It's worst cause measles has long lasting effects. No rational parent would allow this. They should be punished but their kids are taking the punishment for them. Cruelty.
