So in that case, I don't believe parents should have the right to put other kids at risk just because they believe some stupid lies.
I know it won't hurt other kids, but I also don't believe in the right of parents to seek out alternate forms af medical treatment when their kids have a serious illness. That (IMHO) is abuse.

And yet... it remains the law. Thus, it remains legal to "inflict" this app on your children as well.
Parents have that right.
You are of course welcome to change the law, which if successful will criminalize the above medical-related abuse as well as this app.
And that really is the only point I am trying to make. Barring the no-longer-problematic violation of author integrity, this is nothing but a tool that can be utilized to inflict harm on your own books,
to the same extent that you can currently modify pbooks. All totally legal and aboveboard, if rather silly/ridiculous/repugnant/morally bankrupt/what-have-you.
Further discussion can be addressed to Child Protective Services, who may or may not consider this a problem (particularly in the Bible Belt)... but it certainly isn't a problem
with the app per se.
Because it is now at the point where it is Just One More Example of things-adults-do-to-raise-their-kids-which-are-considered-objectionable-by-some.
