I was pretty clear in saying this is the case for children in general and that while kiwifarms had him dead to rights for a long time, kids (who aren’t watch his streams) don’t make the same leaps.
Children who have never been around drugs don’t automatically know what they’re looking at when an adult (esp a parent) is high and acting strangely. This is just fact, and observable from the people here that have mentioned their experience but also in general when if you’ve ever been around adults reflecting on the substance abuse of their parents. Once they learn that lesson they don’t forget, as is with most threatening things kids encounter for the first time. CPS workers talk about this too, children are not objective about their parents, it’s just “dads acting scary again, better stay away” not “dads on coke, better stay away.”
Kids are innocent, again, which is why they need protected because they accept far too much. They literally don’t know any better. They do need that initial learning experience. We have no idea how directly Nick interacted with his kids off his most intoxicated streams. He’s already acclimatised them to a lot by getting drunk so often and bringing in other adults on drugs. His children are very young, heavily sheltered and dumped on other people constantly, with the eldest of the house most of the time. They easily could have known, sure, but to make the argument the children in his home should know because you did via his streams isn’t the most compelling.
