I don't think he's accusing Child Protective Services or the police of handling the complaint improperly. Should they have done anything differently? Read the essay carefully and tell me what you think. I believe the answer is no.
The police officer, the CPS professional, and the forensic interviewers who spoke to my children were just following procedure and doing their jobs - admirable jobs that must be incredibly difficult every day, protecting the most vulnerable children from the most horrible threats....
The "terrible thing" was not done by the authorities but only by the anonymous person who made a complaint against him.
Even though the accusation was absurdly and obviously false, and was promptly rejected by law enforcement, I still worry... about how anyone, even in today’s world, could fail to respect the absolutely fundamental principle that whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave people’s kids out of it.
No matter how well-recognized a principle is, there are always transgressors. There's always some outlier person who's going to go ahead and do the forbidden thing. There's some value in expressing outrage, but to express outrage is to tell people how to be outrageous.

Says the dude whose political party is all in on the State taking children away from parents who refuse to go along with transing their own children.
Who thinks letting 2 Gay men adopt kids is a good thing? I'm sure Buttigig and his "Wife" aren't abusing the kids, but how many Gay couples are?
I can't think of a more unnatural enviroment for a kid. No mother. And one of the men has no biological connection (assuming one paid for woman to have the kid). And if the kids a boy, what's goin' happen when he gets to 14? One can imagine.
OTOH, there's nothing to prevent someone who doesn't like Buttigig from calling CPS and making a false accusation. And once its out there, his political opponents can make hay out of it. Doesn't matter if its false, the damage has been done.
Good opportunity for a false flag operation.
Podcaster Tim Pool has been SWATTED. Numerous times. Once while on-air, live.
Austin Metcalf’s parents have been SWATTED. Numerous times.
Politicians have been SWATTED: MTG, Sen. Rick Scott, Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
But, now, because Pete’s a Dem, it’s news?
The media always lies. Lies of omission, lies of commission, lies of definition.
I think people that call these fake SWATs in should be tried for attempted murder. If more politicians would suggest the same and DA's follow through on prosecutions; then I suspect the prevalence of these events would decrease. Alas, it is more often used by the left on the right, so I won't expect progressives to punish their foot soldiers.
No way in hell two gay guys (or women) should be raising a child, but we’ve made a decision to allow that, so I’m in favor of leaving them alone.
There have been a few high profile cases where gay couples severely abused their kids. Could this be the source of the complaint?
Did Petey take the opportunity to condemn numerous swattings of those on the right? That puts kids in much more danger than his were.
Why are people using this agency so much? Teachers, nurses and other service providers just casually accuse people of child abuse or neglect?
And, I didn't know this, but half (!!!) of Black children can expect a CPS investigation at some point during childhood. No way on earth are 50% of Black children beaten or sexually abused or any of that stuff. So what the heck is going on?
There should be severe punishment for people that instigate these type of actions. I hope the women gets what she deserves.
I am annoyed by people online calling this "swatting". It was manipulation of a bureaucracy, not an attempt to use police for violence.
Based on posts I see on reddit (I know, I know), I don't think this is uncommon. Divorced couples, toxic in-laws, crazy neighbors are among the ones people accuse of filing false reports.
It's annoying for the person who has had a false report against them, but the real injury is to the kids CPS won't have time for because they have to check into every report, even ones that seem to be based on a thing someone may have heard years and years ago.
"The "terrible thing" was not done by the authorities but only by the anonymous person who made a complaint against him."
Boy, have you got this one wrong.
In the first place, they're not his kids. They're someone else's kids. He bought them so he and his boyfriend could cosplay as functional human beings.
In the second place, if we grant, for purposes of argument, that he is the parent of the children he purchased from the trafficker, then the government's claim to sequester and interrogate his children with no more probable cause than an anonymous accusation from a complete stranger is an evident violation of numerous Constitutional rights. I would think even a law professor could figure that out.
CPS is wildly out of control, everywhere in the US. Somehow, they manage to work full-time, and earn a good living, without ever encountering any of the hundreds of thousands of minor children that the Biden regime allowed traffickers to bring into the US. But they do manage, between coffee breaks, to harass lots of innocent people at the behest of the perverts in the Teachers' unions.
Pete has always got to play the gay victim. That’s his lane in politics. Why else publicize this event?
He was - without a doubt - the worst Secretary of Transportation ever. And certainly the worst Cabinet Secretary under Biden. He didn’t build out his EV charging station network. He didn’t upgrade the computer hardware and software at airports that was desperately needed. People have died because of his incompetence.
I challenge anyone to point out one single notable accomplishment.
He’s running for POTUS but can’t win. He has zero support from Blacks.
He’s running to make money. He’s grifting somehow. Maybe he gets an allowance from rich gays.
"..the absolutely fundamental principle that whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave people’s kids out of it..."
please tell that to Jenna abd Barbara Bush
Shouting Thomas, I just noticed your comment. I don't agree with you. I've had tons and tons of tenants with nontraditional family structures. The worst ones? The lesbians. Their relationships are violent, mean and unstable. Next up? Single mothers. Then the single dads. Then the gay dads in a committed relationships. Finally, the best ones, are the normals in normal heterosexual relationships.
But, honestly, the gay men are champs with nice, well adjusted kids. Hard to believe but it is the truth.
If ol' Pete condemned SWATs before, it wasn't well publicized. The test here is whether he does something more than expound on Substack. Lead the charge, Pete. Be the change. Call it out for everyone, not just you. Lead the charge to punish those who engage in such behaviors regardless of worldview.
Smell the glove of the unwashed left, Comrade Petrovna!
We already have false accusations made during divorce proceedings or because of a lovers quarrell damaging political careers. I guess CPS accusations will be added to the list.
I'm all for Me too. It took far too long, and damaged too many women, before sex creeps and rapists in "Hollyweird" and the "Industry" got taken down and held to account.
But when it comes to politics, I'm in favor of innocent till proven guilty. Too easy for the "Establishment" and the MSM to take out people they don't like with false accusations.
One of Pete's problems is that people mix him up with the Gay Biden staffer who was stealing women's luggage for fun. And the weird trans "Admiral".

This crossed my mind.
If you think about it, this is baked right into the CPS cake. Why is it, that the Childrens' Protective Services never protect any of the trafficked "immigrant" children, but spend most of their "working" hours harassing innocent parents? It's because that is what they are set up to do. They don't roam the streets, looking for abused children. They sit on their asses and wait for allegations from people with an axe to grind. And then they go all out grinding those axes for them.
In the first place, they're not his kids.
You will find out even your biological kids are state property when push comes to shove. Take your child to an emergency room for, say, asthma and try to leave without doing everything the doctor recommends.
Should you do so, they are bound by law to inform Child Protective Services. And even if you're eventually cleared, that incident stays in the state's database forever.
Same thing happened to Uncle Bill and Mr. French.
Mayor Pete, “Everyone knows politics is ugly these days. It’s always been ugly, but now it feels more and more like bloodsport. Cruelty, lies, and even deadly violence have been directed at political figures across the ideological spectrum. Generally everyone agrees this has to stop, even as our country (and public figures) get all too used to it.”
And how did this start? Why have there been three attempts on the life of Trump!
Civility BS claim by Pete. The entire identity and platform of the Dems is to fight Trump and hate on him.
And no, I have not been investigated by CPS. At least, not that I know of. They operate in secret, and their victims know nothing of their sinister activities until their lives are suddenly blown apart. But as a home-schooler in a blue state, I have felt their menacing presence around me for decades. My youngest just turned 18, so I am finally immune to that particular form of State oppression.
CPS was created to protect children. Great motive. Then, with authority in hand, they like all government agencies went big time. Vintage Commie left. The largest department in my county is “Human Services”.(gag me).
Try escaping their wrath if your lovely spouse accuses you of physical abuse. You’re out in the street.
Outrage is from outre, beyond what is proper, made into a noun with -age. English reads it and sees "rage." What is beyond what is proper (wrong salad fork) deserves rage, the word itself says so. That mistake was so useful that the word was reimported back into French.
Not a person in a hundred can distinguish the act from the reaction to it. An outrage deserves outrage.
My ex wife tried to ruin my political career right before the OPPD election.
Same thing happened to Uncle Bill and Mr. French.
Actually "cissy" was the one at risk. Uncle bill was quite the ladies man.
When we're talking about Gays and kid abuse we're discussing averages. Not absolutes. The fact that Buttigig and his wife may be OK doesn't mean anything. Its just one person.
This does not warrant a Child Protective Services investigation:
“An anonymous caller had contacted CPS. The caller said that he had spoken to a woman who claimed to have met me at a conference several years ago in Alabama, where she said I told her that I had committed unspeakable violent crimes, and the caller believed my children were still at risk.”
15 years ago Thomas James Ball died by self-immolation outside the Chester County Courthouse. Powerful statement published posthumously.
Mrs. Brady was having an affair with one of the kids. Or at least that's what Barry Williams claimed. None of the girls have claimed to had an affair with Robert Reed - for obvious reasons.
victim-mining and false flags a thing on the left. They often use it for sympathy and power.
Agree with Mr. D.
Go on Pete - do the right thing.
Robert Reed's finest performance is in "Pray for the Wildcats" trying to prevent pyscho Andy Griffith from killing people.
I get that Pete is angry but now his story is trending on X. Every crazy out there is learning that he too could wreak havoc on Mayor Pete. Pete just put a Bull’s Eye in his and his family’s back.
I’d find him more credible if he renounced such swats that happened to his political opponents. He believed incorrectly that it can’t happen to me because we’re the good guys and definitely never the baddies…
it’s all a big scam of asymmetry- it’s righteous when the left does it. Donald Trump must no longer be President when someone does it to the left. More of that Maher style free advice to people I never want to see succeed: stop with the asymmetry…
An enforcement bureaucracy that depends on anonymous tips is like leaving a loaded gun lying around. It could save a life, but if anybody can get their hands on it, the odds are in other direction.
Chicks love this drama stuff...
Will no one consider his vulnerable children and stop publicizing, please...
Please? Le them be private until they can consent as adults at 18 to being publicized or not?
“15 years ago Thomas James Ball died by self-immolation outside the Chester County Courthouse. Powerful statement published posthumously.”
I remember this. CPS has caused so much harm. I know of 3 cases. 2 brought on by ex wives with zero justification. One ended with the dad simply not having any contact with his daughters because he was worried about the court fights ahead (the allegations concerned his mother). In another case the parents fought but it was a long process, ultimately resolved in the parents favor and I was surprised they survived it as well as they did. The third case the parents lost custody of their children for several months. I lost contact with them so I don’t know how that turned out.
Robert Reed had a good role in Rich man Poor man too. He's the rich ladies man who lives in a mansion outside of town. He introduces a hot Susan Blakely to sex. Later she marries Eddies father, and Bill Bixley turns out to be a dud. Finally, she ends up as an unhappy drunk beause she's married to boring Peter Strauss. Anyone who thinks acting was better in the 70s should go watch Strauss in action.
She should've hooked up with Nick Nolte at the beginning but then there'd be no story.
I agree with Left Bank: There was an insufficient basis for kicking off an investigation that separated the children from their responsible adult. I think there should have been conversations with these two men to establish whether there was any credibility to the accusation (and it appears there wasn't), and that should have been the end of it.
Second, there should be a critical review of how such accusations are lodged. Something that has such potency to ruin someone, should not be taken at face value when the accuser refuses to identify themselves. That in itself should throw up red flags.
Buttigig should get out of politics and try to get a TV sitcom. Two guys and a baby. Is Norman Lear still alive? He could produce it. But instead the wacky Gay neighbor, they'd need a grumpy homophobe neighbor who is constantly being wrong.
Someone calls the CPS would be a perfect sitcom episode. You could have Buttigig give a little speech at the end, and the homophobe apologizing with tears in his eyes.
The power to destroy families is not the kind of thing you just unleash on your own people without strict monitoring.
...and as far as Buttigieg's gripes go, he should back up this weak argument by showing a more detailed analysis of who gets targeted in these anonymous mischief events, both SWATTING and CPS. I'm betting that such things come down against men more than women, and against conservatives more than progressives, because that's how dirty tricks seem to roll.
"I still worry... about how anyone, even in today’s world, could fail to respect the absolutely fundamental principle that whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave people’s kids out of it."
Jay Jones. Democrats VOTE for this shit.
What goes around comes around. Fine to SWAT Republicans--not so fine when it happens to Democrats. But life is like that--discover and unleash a weapon and it may turn around and bite you. Unfortunate--but one has to realize that the world is full of people who are no damned good.
The children were separated from their parents by being put with their grandparents. The reason for that was to keep the parents from influencing the children's testimony.
The informant may have been legit. Believed a lie told to them and was actually concerned.
It was a complaint maliciously made. Parental authority was undermined for zero reason. And make no mistake, kids learn from this that they can make any silly complaint and get their parents into trouble. I’ve seen that as well.
Diminutive single mom catches high school athlete son smoking weed. Yells and slaps him a few times . Teacher overhears the son laughing with his friends over incident and notifies CPS>
CPS investigates, mom sentenced to parenting classes and bi-monthly welfare checks.
“ The "terrible thing" was not done by the authorities but only by the anonymous person who made a complaint against him.
Even though the accusation was absurdly and obviously false, and was promptly rejected by law enforcement….”
No. It was the cops and CPS who “promptly” abducted and interrogated the children, based on an “obviously false” allegation. They are responsible for any resulting trauma.
“ No matter how well-recognized a principle is, there are always transgressors. There's always some outlier person who's going to go ahead and do the forbidden thing.”
And cops, especially, should be aware of that, since it is their raison d'être. There are some evil and insane people in the world, who will do insane and evil things, and cops should know to avoid becoming their accomplice. Maybe they could lighten up on the sensitivity training and get some training on basic common sense and basic decency.
Pete forgot that no one is above the law.
Just because you are a famous politician doesn’t mean you are immune from investigation.
"Swatting" is when a crew of nervous snipers with rifles show up ready to engage with a dangerous psycho with a gun.
This episode does not fit the definition.
When the head of the NRA was swatted and the police raided his house at 2AM, after the caller claimed there was a murder/suicide, the NYT was silent. The WAPost did a story but only because it was local news.
This is another case of selective outrage and reporting.
For parents who love their children this also has an impact. There’s a reason Pete called this a “terrible thing.” The idea that his kids can be taken away from him at any time on a whim is going to be at the back of his mind till his kids grow up.
“ The idea that his kids can be taken away from him at any time on a whim is going to be at the back of his mind till his kids grow up.”
It’s going to be at the back of their minds forever.
Per Buttigig - "To be clear, making a false report of this kind is a crime. That’s as it should be, both to protect the innocent from false accusations, and to preserve the integrity of a process designed to protect children from harm. I don’t know how much we can do about it, but so help me God, if there is any way to press civil or criminal charges over this, we will."
I doubt any punishment will be meted out. Its like anti-semitism and fake "hate" crimes. False or exaggerated accusations are never punished. How many fake swastikas and nooses have we seen over the years?
Even worse, the definition of anti-semitism has been changed due to powerful Jewish pressure so the DOJ will now investigate if a Coffee Shop doesn't like Israelis. Racism is just as bad. Basically, a black person can punch you and claim you called him the "n word" and get off.
Crazy America. But don't think Buttigig would change it if he gets power.
Buttigig kids:
They got their children through a sudden, "surprise" adoption process through an adoption agency. The agency contacted them about a mother who had given birth that day and had requested to arrange an adoption. The couple quickly traveled to a rural hospital to begin the process
“ The "terrible thing" was not done by the authorities but only by the anonymous person who made a complaint against him. ”
You mean the same kind of people who make unfounded claims anonymously against DJT daily, Pete?
Good thing that Pete wasn’t charged with a bunch of made-up crimes and convicted by a jury of haters.
Full Moon is correct. This was not swatting. It was grossly inappropriate and illegal.
"Couples severely abused their kids"
A couplet who sodomized their adopted male children, for one. Still, we should be wary to indulge Diversity dogma. Not all trans are "=", let alone = in their phobias and affirmative action.
“ OTOH, there's nothing to prevent someone who doesn't like Buttigig from calling CPS and making a false accusation. And once it’s out there, his political opponents can make hay out of it. Doesn't matter if it’s false, the damage has been done.”
Kind of reminds me of the Trump-is-a-pedophile claim that we hear almost daily from people who should know better.
Along with a number of folks, I would have more sympathy for his position if he didn't belong to the party that has made clear for at least the last decade it views the use of the justice system and law enforcement against its opponents as 'politics by other means."
Swatting is a terrible thing regardless of the target - a shame Democrat activists invented it.
“ He didn’t build out his EV charging station network. He didn’t upgrade the computer hardware and software at airports that was desperately needed. People have died because of his incompetence.”
You forgot his blind eye approach towards tens of thousands of unqualified illegals getting CDLs in states like California and roaming our highways.
Triple hearsay accusations got an investigation going? Wow.
Pete must be kicking off his Presidential campaign.
"...whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone."
Okay, let's enforce that rule in the public schools cirriculum.
“An anonymous caller had contacted CPS. The caller said that he had spoken to a woman who claimed to have met me at a conference several years ago in Alabama, where she said I told her that I had committed unspeakable violent crimes, and the caller believed my children were still at risk.”
“Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Buttigieg and his kids at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.”
Actually "cissy" was the one at risk. Uncle bill was quite the ladies man.
Did you know "Cissy" is the ClearCaptions Phone lady?
Thanks wince. I recognized her right away. The face the voice. She may be 80 but that's Cissy.
Hey Pete -- I don't care what you think, the truth is that you are living an aberrant lifestyle.
You may think that everything in your world is sweetness and light, but two men raising two little kids together—without a woman in the picture—is beyond weird. When you chose to go down this aberrant, unnatural path, you opened yourself up for this kind of situation.
You and your partner are f-d up, and I have no sympathy for either of you. You might call it love, but I call it perversion … and it disgusts me.
There was a time I would care about this, and chastise the anonymous person who did it.
But, no longer.
We told you leftists you wouldn't like the new rules. But you didn't listen. So now? I don't care if this shit gets turned back onto you. You've earned it.
This is much worse than swatting and generates an unbelievable amount of fear and rage, unbelievable till it happens to someone you know. The only reason people in general don't know about how serious this is, is that parents choke down their emotions because if expressed, their rage and fear would be used against them and their parental rights. But this emotion melts all social bonds. It is far, far beyond revolutionary play-acting.
I'm wondering if Madonna has the same plastic surgeon as Faye Dunaway. TBF, Dunaway's surgeon had much more to work with.
Mayor Pete doesn’t understand. The Commies killed Anastasia too. No one is safe.
Has anyone considered the possibility that the person who reported them actually saw something concerning?
Think of dead children where cops didn't respond the child abuse.
Notice Mayor Pete took longer maternity leave than Carol Levitt, who actually gave birth.
Wildswan writes that this “is much worse than swatting.” Swatting is an attempt to create a police response that results in one or more fatalities. While outrageous, what was perpetrated on Pete and his family was much less dangerous than swatting. That said, the police should have been more cautious with anonymous charges. Pete and his family deserve an apology.
I am on file with CPS in my previous county, and with the state.
I was discussing some very minor difficulties my child was having in third grade at a private school, with the SEL (Social Emotional Learning) teacher, a youngish newish woman. At one point I demonstrated to her how I regained my child's attention during a similar home chat: by lightly tapping with two fingers on the cheekbone.
Two days later I received a phone call from CPS. The teacher, who was OF COURSE a "mandatory reporter", had filed a report about that conversation. I related the above to the CPS person, who said my story matched the reported story, and that there would probably not be any further action.
But of course there was a further action, in the form of me making a firm resolution to never again have an open conversation with a school staff person.
Social Emotional Learning is a bullshit grift. Report her for abusing children
"anonymous" "years ago" and in another state entirely. That is evidence only valid in a Star Chamber, or Democrat controlled Michigan, where Pete lives. They are sending him a message just in time for staying silent this election season.
"A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family," writes Pete Buttigieg.
Your family was subjected to scrutiny by the bureaucracy you believed would only be deployed against others?
"RCOCEAN II said...
But when it comes to politics, I'm in favor of innocent till proven guilty. Too easy for the "Establishment" and the MSM to take out people they don't like with false accusations."
"Dave Begley said...
Good thing that Pete wasn’t charged with a bunch of made-up crimes and convicted by a jury of haters."
These two comments go hand in hand. That was SUPPOSED to take Trump out. Even most Democrats don't believe the accusations despite the verdict. Most won't admit that though.
Like the bazillion felonies Trump is guilty of- still wending it's way through appeals. As the average person realizes what a farce of trial that was.
"Has anyone considered the possibility that the person who reported them actually saw something concerning?"
That may well be. People progress with empathetic virtue when there is plausible cause. In this case a family with trans spectrum guardians.
"Has anyone considered the possibility that the person who reported them actually saw something concerning?"
The person who did the reporting was reporting something that they said they had heard, third hand, from someone else. Plus, they remained anonymous. So that's two red flags that should have immediately called the sincerity of the reporting party into question. Then the basis of the report was proven false, because Buttigieg wasn't where the complainant said he had been, at the time.
False accusations of serious wrongdoing are terrible for a host of reasons.
I think we can all agree it’s a profound injustice when the state confiscates our kids but perfectly understandable when the state confiscates theirs.
The post immediately above yours doesn't agree.
Just sayin'.
Wait we don’t all agree?
@EP, kindly point us to the comment that voices the sentiment that this incident was 'perfectly understandable'. I saw some that had a 'how does it feel to have your own policies work out on you?' vibe, and some that were made in distaste of Buttigieg and his lifestyle, but I saw no comments that thought that CPS had done the right thing. Too bad eh? Sorry to damage your cynical partisan comforts.
The terrible thing was the Two Daddies™
It sounds like it was all handled appropriately. Sure, scary for the kids and parents. How does the actual mother feel?
That's why you don't involve your kids in your elections. Both Parties do it. But Buttigeig and partner trumpeted their use of a woman's body, pretended his husband had just "delivered" the babies in a hospital bed, erased the woman who did, and that was sickening. Why not honor her? I have no sympathy for the sick optics. It's too close to trafficking women's wombs.
Gay men need to cut out this crap.
I would feel differently if they had honored the woman who carried and bore their children, instead of Buttigeig pretending his male partner had just delivered them, hospital bed and all. That's just sickening misogyny.
My infant brother was a type 1 diabetic when doctors regularly blamed mothers for not keeping their sugar levels in control, far, far before better technologies. He got a stomach bug, and they almost took him away. Not the only time, though my parents were incredibly vigilant. Enough with the gays being special martyrs. They are not. Also, they have choices and special privileges that we did not. Fuck them. Statistics show they sexually abuse adopted and inseminated children at much higher rates than heterosexual couples. Do we ignore this as a society?
Rhhardin, you bitter little man.
If Buttigieg were a Republican, he'd be on Death Row right now.
Dave: "INfamous politician" FIFY
Tough shit. The liberals have SWATted Supreme Court Justices. No sympathy.
THEY’RE NOT THE CHILD’S PARENTS. They’re two evil gay guys (I have zero problem with homosexuality, but if you’re a bad guy, your a bad guy). Subjecting a young boy to them is sick. Take the kid.
Amy Comey Barrett was swatted and not a peep.
Until lefties hold their own accountable I don’t care about what happens to celebrity lefties.

I like Mark, but the truth is the only thing new about this story is that it happened to a Democrat. It’s ho-hum and commonplace for conservatives."
“Pete must be kicking off his Presidential campaign”
We have a winner!
My oldest son got into a scuffle with a kid in his class when in the third grade. Prior to this, the kid then complained numerous times to school staff and his parents that my son was bothering him. The kid claimed my son attacked him, but this was disproven. Regardless, his dad, a parole officer in St Louis called me and threatened to contact Child Protective Services because my son obviously had something going on at home that led to him harassing his son. It turned out his son was gay and had a crush on my son ... (don't know if the kid fully understood his feelings at that age). When he finally figured it out, no apologies, no acknowledgement of the threat. I let him know what a despicable POS he was the last time he tried to talk to me.
I agree, getting ready to run ... and hopefully, KARMA.
That jerkoff never hesitated to smear Republicans and their offspring. They ALL do it but then whine like little children when reality gives them some payback.
Can CPS really determine a report is false or can they just find no evidence that it is valid?
CPS is damned if they do and damned if they don't, which explains the 100% annual turnover. The limited things they are alliwed to count as danger to a child is absurd. Both parents can be smoking crack, but so long as they're not doing it in front of the children, according to them, it is generally not enough cause for removing the children from the household.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Pete or his husband were the caller. It gets him back in the news, a chance to remind people he’s a “dad,” and a chance to express moral outrage.
Sarah Palin sends her regards.
what was perpetrated on Pete and his family was much less dangerous than swatting.
Says you. I'd rather kill or die than have my kid stolen from me due to false allegations.
