Abbott Baby Formula Factory Is Using Unsanitary Practices, Workers Say

^ProPublica

What a terrible country we have here in the US. A young black dad needed to go to a job interview and couldn't afford a baby sitter for his 3 kids and didn't have time to take them home before his meeting bc he also can't afford a car.

So they walked to McDonald's next to his job interview to let them play while he went to the interview.

When he returned he was arrested and may still be in jail rn.

The U.K.'s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has backed a total ban on smacking children. Currently, it is totally illegal in Scotland and Wales, but unlawful in England and Northern Ireland except in cases where it amounts to a "reasonable punishment" — a distinction the RCPCH says shouldn't exist. Prof Andrew Rowland, RCPCH officer for child protection, told @BBCNews: "Now is the time for this Victorian-era punishment to go."
