I mean, I've never looked at one of these positions where I'm like, oh, you're just actually doing a lot of work that you're not being paid for at all. Much more likely than that this is well-paid. And they're putting themselves just on the firing line. And I mean, I think it is like, I hope we get to a place where more people understand that they should just be in deep, deep admiration.

Because I think this always comes back to you for me, much like it did in the Kowalski case, where like, if you are lucky in this country, if you are lucky, you live in a place where there is a well-resourced, trusted children's hospital. We have one here, Seattle Children's Hospital is not far away and I can drive my kids there if they need to go there.

And you are lucky if you have a community that supports that. And they are a part of the community. This idea, and I think this is where it gets to this core debate that we're having right now as we rehash all of the societal gains that we made in the 70s. Apparently, we're just doing it all over again. good times, is this idea of like, do we think children are the property of their parents?

Or do we think they're human beings that have their own individual rights that are a part of the community? And are we trusting other people in the community to also be part of raising our children? Obviously, parents have rights to their children. I have kids.

I'm not arguing that parents shouldn't have decision-making capabilities, they shouldn't have rights of their parents, that they shouldn't be able to choose what school to put their kids in or what have you. But it's like, I think there's a real fundamental question here of like, I want to live in a world where I can trust other adults around my children.

So I want abuse to be investigated because I don't want those adults just wandering around, around my children, around their own children. Like I don't want child abusers just going scot-free in our community. Call me crazy. So it's like that also means trusting other people that are not in my household, right?
