CPS Was Called On Us!

After a relaxing family vacation, Malcolm and Simone get an alarming call from CPS accusing them of child abuse and neglect. They break down the ridiculous reasons like used clothing, letting kids play outside, and separating sick kids that show those filing reports are out-of-touch with normal parenting. Malcolm argues it reveals a dangerous form of cultural genocide by progressives who believe they have the right to police child-rearing they disagree with. He warns conservatives are being pushed to a breaking point where this could spark serious conflict. Ultimately, they hope CPS comes to see calls against them as bogus so resources can go to kids in real need.

Malcolm: [00:00:00] when you have an active genocide campaign ongoing we're the actual goal is you guys are doing something different. Let's erase that kids are not safe if they're not raised within our cultural group.

Malcolm: And a lot of people don't really know this is going on or really don't know how aggressively this is going on. And even with us, sometimes I'm like, I might be overstating things. And then CPS comes to talk to us.

Simone: Yeah. Talk about a wake up call.

Malcolm: they're like, Oh, what I'm doing is good because the people I'm doing it to are culturally backwards and bad. And it's that's what the colonists sought. That's what every evil group in history has ever thought. You, you the deplorables, when you categorize half your population that way

Malcolm: What's happening here, is progressives that feel they have the right and obviously have the ability.

Malcolm: To call the government. Saying they are not raising their kids in a style that I, as a [00:01:00] progressive, approve of. Yeah.

Would you like to know more?

Simone: So Malcolm, we just got back from a lovely vacation with our three kids. And we had a billion amazing experiences with them. One of them, we were making a birthday cake sort of on a belated celebration for our two year old.

Simone: It was a dinosaur cake. And while we were making this cake, we received a very. Strange call. Do you want to tell our

Malcolm: friends about it? It was from CPS, for people who aren't from the USS, Child Protective Services. This is the government service that takes kids away from people when they're like abusing kids or something like that.

Malcolm: Now, our initial thought when this happened to us is this must be like the pronatalist version of swatting someone, right? You know, we assumed it was like a random hater. Who just wanted to f**k with us, right? And that could, that could have been what it was. But, if they did, they hired a private security person or a private detective to follow us.

Malcolm: Because a [00:02:00] lot of their complaints were actually true to the way we raise our kids. Even in things that we don't air publicly. And so our fans may be like, no, you've aired enough of this publicly that I would have been able to guess all of this. But our actual read is we are experiencing what many Americans experience today, especially if they hang out with, you know, any sort of or adjacent to any sort of progressive circle that really has no understanding of what it's like to actually raise kids.

Malcolm: Where the rules for how you raise kids and how you should raise kids. Are being written by people who have no experience with child rearing and do not understand what's realistic and what's not. And these rules

Simone: don't correlate with like well being, survival, health, like normal things. Like these are not, you know, we're not talking about rules like don't beat your children.

Simone: Okay?

Malcolm: Okay, so let's talk about why CPS was called on us, why they were interested in talking to us. Mm-hmm. [00:03:00] reason number one, our kids were wearing used clothing. They were like, they are, they were wearing used gross tattered clothing.

Simone: Wasn't that Some of it didn't like, fit perfectly.

Malcolm: Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't that it was like gross or unwashed.

Malcolm: It was that it was unfitting

Simone: and used different place. Yeah. No, we wash our clothes in our house. There's one, they can only survive one wear before there's food all over it. So, and, and keep in mind like a lot of the one we do, Receive donated clothes and love it. And two, I do when I buy new, new clothes, when I buy clothes for our kids, it is like used stuff on eBay, but it's used Ralph Lauren.

Simone: Okay.

Malcolm: This is an accurate accusation. It is accurate. Yes. But if it's an accusation that you're defending yourself, I think every sane person who hears this is like. Obviously, kids grow fast. You give them new clothes. Why wouldn't

Simone: you give them new clothes too. I mean, from an environmental standpoint, from a financial standpoint, you're like, you're kind of crazy if you're buying new clothes for your kids.

Simone: But

Malcolm: I guess people might think, I don't know, because we're like wealthy [00:04:00] that we just buy new clothes for all of our kids. No, that's completely wasteful. It's antithetical to everything our ideology stands for. Yeah. Never waste anything. And you guys have seen videos of our kids. They don't look like, you know, but, but, okay.

Malcolm: So this was accusation number one. I was like, true, but also insane. So, next point that they, they called us on. Our kids are very frequently sick.

Simone: No s**t, Sherlock.

Simone: They go to daycare.

Malcolm: You have to, I, I can understand somebody who has never interacted with kids, never had to send kids to a daycare or something like that, because right now our kids are in daycare. Being like, oh, it's weird how often these kids are sick, right? But if you have kids, especially a number of kids in daycare, because if any of them get something, it goes around the house, right?

Malcolm: If any kid in daycare has something, all of them are licking everything, crawling on the ground. Everyone gets something. This is a normal part of having

Simone: kids. Yeah, just to reiterate, we have, we have three children in three different classrooms and a daycare. That means that if anyone gets something, [00:05:00] hand, foot, and mouth disease you know, the, the, the, the stomach bug, like anything, a cold, everyone in our household is very likely to get it because that kid is very likely to bring it back.

Malcolm: But this is a normal part of being a parent and not a sign of. The sign of having a lot of toddlers, not of child abuse, but again, it shows that the people who are making these rules, even the people within C P Ss who are responding to this apparently don't know, like the realities of raising even a medium number of kids three is not like that large of a family right now, you know?

Malcolm: Yeah, yeah. And

Simone: I mean, actually, like I could, I could see there being a higher correlation between never being sick and being in a genuinely abusive household because that is a household that's more likely to isolate children. And not allow them to go to school or go out or anything like that. That's a good point.

Simone: They would be less sick.

Malcolm: So the next, the next one was that our kids sleep alone. Yeah. They sleep in a
