(Edit: I had an image but the proxy kept breaking it, so removed. If it helps, it was to https://preview.redd.it/may-i-remind-you-its-going-to-be-2024-in-3-months-v0-a7eutt27egmb1.jpg?auto=webp&s=d66f0c58b94e02e6fbe67fb7ac316a025c7fb848)

This may cheer you up:
Edit: I was gonna go with my favorite gif (below), but I didn't want people to think that I was like... crazy or something!? :-P

Yes there is that. It's a tricky one too bc likely if you were to ask the kid, they would consent to whatever the family says to do. On the other hand, it's definitely not "informed consent".
Then again, I choose not to become thought police, so long as the parents themselves give informed consent. The alternative would be to take the child away from their parents, which is also a bad outcome.
Like I said, it's "tricky".
These people tend to live apart from society. And I did say:
Especially if they will keep their kids in seclusion if displaying symptoms and wear masks themselves when coming into town.
To address that exact issue.
Perhaps you meant within their own society, but that's different bc it is consensual. I am not about to force others to share my viewpoints, so long as they likewise respect mine.
That's odd, I think I saw the opposite, probably some weirdness involving the details there like Lemmy version or whether someone submits a report or not, or something.
