Ask Amy: The neighbor’s teenager is home alone. Should I call CPS?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:04:24 GMT

Dear Amy: I’ve become aware that my neighbor has been leaving her 13-year-old at home alone while she goes to work on Saturdays.I’m concerned about this child and wonder if I should call CPS to report this parent for neglect? Concerned NeighborDear Concerned: Thirteen-year-olds are capable of being home for a number of hours on their own. For many of us who were raised by single parents (or raised our children as single parents), this “latch-key” life is completely normal.A few years ago, I became curious about the longer-term impact on children who had been left on their own at home after school while parents worked.I asked a group of young adults about this and they all claimed that they usually had a few chores they were expected to do, that their parent checked in regularly, and that they filled the rest of their time doing homework, watching TV, and basically enjoying their independence.Obviously, there are risks for anyone being alone in a house.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:04:24 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: My wife has been complaining about her job lately and insisting I could never handle the work that she does.She’s an administrative assistant for a major company. Recently, I surprised her with lunch at work, and I was astonished at how nice the environment was. Her boss was extremely kind, and all of her co-workers were pleasant to be around. To top it off, my wife wasn’t even working at the time. She was busy scrolling through TikTok on her phone!I know this may not be the biggest issue in the world, but I find it annoying that my wife continues to insist she’s in an impossible working situation. I work a manual labor job that causes me to have back issues. I just don’t care to hear the constant complaints anymore.Do you have any advice on how to gently suggest she reframe her perspective and look at the positive aspects of her job?Frustrated HusbandDEAR FRUSTRATED HUSBAND: Have a heart-to-heart with your wife. Tell her that your observation...

Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:04:24 GMT

The Italian privacy regulator Friday ordered a ban on ChatGPT over alleged privacy violations. The national data protection authority said it will immediately block and investigate OpenAI, the U.S. company behind the popular artificial intelligence tool, from processing the data of Italian users. The order is temporary until the company respects the EU’s landmark privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).Calls to suspend new ChatGPT releases and investigate its maker OpenAI over a range of risks for privacy, cybersecurity and disinformation are growing on both sides of the Atlantic. Elon Musk and dozens of AI experts this week called for a pause to updates of ChatGPT. Consumer advocacy group BEUC also called on March 30 for EU and national authorities including data protection watchdogs to investigate ChatGPT. The authority said the company lacks a legal basis justifying “the mass collection and storage of personal data … to ‘train&...
