I am also loving how seeker opened this can of worms and then...disappeared...

Disappeared- or went to shovel horse poo. Depending on how you look at it.

I am of the "it takes a village" frame of mind. Beyond very basic safety and a modicum of civilised behaviour, I think children should fit in where they are. I look after them one way. Other people who love them (or even like them- because nobody who didn't love or at least like them would be looking after them!) might look after them in different ways. I think that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
