Look, I don't live in Australia, but the way you describe it makes it sound like every single person is a cunt and every place is exactly the same, urban or rural.

Tell me the places with these mosquito sounds.

Can they take public transport or their bikes? A group have their parent or other family provide rides?

Parents aren't helicoptery enough of this is the kind of shit teens are up against day in and day out.

Here's what happens when the cops show up to a busy body call. The cops show up, they ask what's going on, they see nothing illegal is happening and leave. Kids continue living their lives. Can't loiter at the park. Don't trespass or loiter in a parking lot or other private property. If they keep calling, the cops start recognizing whose calling and stop questioning the same kids over and over. Cops always give warnings about loitering. If your police are arresting minors for loitering, you got bigger problems. Honestly, isn't it just a ticket?

Whether or not cops are safe depends on many factors, but having the cops know where you're kids are isn't a terrible thing.

cops love to frame innocent people

Get off the internet and crime shows

How dangerous are the police in Australia? How many fatalities? How often?

Edit: advocating for after school programs / funding would be worthwhile. I think your perspective is exaggerated and dismissive, but we could potentially agree on this much.
