A few days later, DFCS presented Patterson with a "safety plan" for her to sign. It would require her to delegate a "safety person" to be a "knowing participant and guardian" and watch over the children whenever she leaves home. The plan would also require Patterson to download an app onto her son's phone allowing for his location to be monitored. (The day when it will be illegal not to track one's kids is rapidly approaching.)

Of course there's a grift train. I'd be very curious to know more about that company, its owners, and its financials.

Also tagging @abucci@buc.ci (can someone tell me how to do that right?). Seems like something that might interest you, re: our recent conversation.

/u/abucci@buc.ci: check the comment above this

I assume this creates a notification, idk.

~~test: /u/spacesatan@leminal.space~~ well it should work, there's an inbox tab for mentions. doesnt seem to trigger if it's in an edit.
