I guess I’m a bleeding heart because I can’t think of a reasonable scenario in which any 7 year old ought to be handcuffed.

If they were self-harming so violently and proper medical restraints weren’t available, I could see using handcuffs as a stop gap until the correct equipment was available.

It’s funny to imagine how that kind of conversation would play out with an extraterrestrial.

“Well, you see, in the South, there was slavery, and…”

“The South? You mean that icy continent? I find it hard to believe anyone at all lived there.”

“No, no, the South of America.”

“You mean that continent shaped like a comma?”

“No, the south part of the United States of America.”

“You call the southern half of the centre third of North America, just ‘the South?’”

“Well, no, not the whole southern half…”

I liked the part where they tried to get rid of it and failed. I mean I don’t like it, but it’s something to keep in mind the next time someone tries to tell me tipping has always been a thing.
