I don't think you can just ignore it. I think you have to actively counter it, like the author of the piece does. She's been in the news a few times, like for letting her kid ride the subway alone. If this nonsense goes unchecked, it will be accepted as normal.

Cool, I didn't realize that she was the same person. I remember the hoopla about that.

I guess by ignore it, I don't mean cave to it; I mean just act like a normal person, and let people with their hang-ups deal with that. So it is pushing back by refusing to behave weird and paranoid.

I know I am going to get shit for letting my kid ride a bike without a helmet.

CPS will be knocking on your door for the lack of bike helmet, but the neighbor's kid, stuffing his face with McDonalds daily, is being reared safely and properly!
