Should potty-training children be allowed to run around naked?

My next-door neighbor lets her toddler daughter run around in the yard naked. When I pointed it out, she said that her kid is in potty-training, and I should mind my own business!

Yes, but not after the age of eighteen.

NO. Because, this is not China, where children are allowed to poop and pee all over the streets. Imagine stepping in a pile of human poop…Ouch!

Side: No

Wait, let me get this straight. A child goes around actually dumping and urinating in the street?

Someone needs to call CPS.

Inside the house, sure. But I wouldn't want my kid running around outside naked. To me it's just demeaning to her. Sure she, or he, doesn't realize it and it's probably very freeing but I don't want some lecher setting his sights on my kid. Also, it's more respectful to the neighbors who probably wouldn't feel comfortable seeing a naked child that isn't theirs, running around.

Not outdoors in sight of nearby neighbors.

It's fine (and actually a normal part of potty training) inside their own house. And if the house was mostly rural or had a fairly private backyard then I could see reasons it might also happen outside. But clearly in the scenario you present it's happening right in front of you.

Side: No
