Side conversation but the homeless's societal role as witnesses and helpers is a major part of why fascists want to get rid of them. I literally feel safer walking by myself if there's visible campers nearby than if the street is totally empty. Many really do see a lot and help a lot.

The world isn't safe, and acknowledging that reality (including frequency, ie if it really isn't often) means we can thoughtfully address it. Yeah for a kid being SA'd at home, being outside is indeed safer for the most part, but it isn't completely safe. I often still get harassed as an adult woman by random men - idk how they would treat a lone little girl if they are approaching my mean ass like that. Further, I was groped by thousands, literally thousands, of strangers as a kid, particularly in lines and crowds. It's a LOT of people who molest kids.

Fascists will use ANY excuse to enact fascism though, it's not the fault of people identifying and describing danger. Fascists are narcissists working together, and their type of fascism is what gives them narcissistic supply. Narcissistic supply is essentially a drug addiction, something they compulsively seek out.
