incarceration cost per prisoner is about 35k$/year. so for a set of parents thats 70k$. at an average parent age of 35 and a life expectancy of 80 years that means 45 years of incarceration. and a total taxpayer cost per indicted case of $3,150,000.
meanwhile my wife is a teacher that has kids come in with poop in their hair, mysterious cuts and bruises, shellshocked because they're screamed at by parents, and CPS does nothing but a home visit after 5 calls then nothing more.
if we're pumping millions into protecting kids this is about as stupid of a way as possible, especially since parents can just leave Idaho and still get the treatments done.
just writing and passing the legislation itself will cost millions, all to signal to idiots who cant do math that protecting kids is important. it is, this just isnt it, this is stupid.
This is why neckbeards live in a bubble because they think they are smart. Your entire premise assumes that everyone is going to start doing it? The bill is supposed to scare the loons. If they decide to go to another state it's that much more inconvenience.
Its child abuse pure and simple. When they reach adulthood then they can do w/e. It a no nonsense solution if you have better then present it
