Yep - the message is an empty threat.
All the messages are really empty threats. The SS trigger is really "sudden death". You can leave hunger in the "warn" range forever, nothing will ever happen except another warning in 5 hours or so, but if you drag to -100, the SS will appear at the same cycle as the warning. In practice, this is not noticeable in the case of motives and grades, which normally decay gradually, first dropping into the warning range before failing out entirely, but this is not so with temperature, which can instantly fail from a previously acceptable state in less than one cycle's time.

Oh thank you so much, especially for this:

Parents will also no longer be physically prevented from going to work if
children are present on the lot. No more having to miss work because the stupid
nanny refused to show up until 15 minutes afterwards.
That has always got on my nerves ¬_¬ Also, I don't understand why a child should be taken away just for failing grades at school - does that happen in the States? Cause it sure as hell doesn't happen in Britain; if a kid's doing badly they get extra help in the form of teaching assistants, for instance :P
I'm glad the temperature thing's fixed too - not the parent's fault if they want to build a snowman!

No. It's a purely Maxian game mechanic to force players to actually send their kids to school. Otherwise there wouldn't be any incentive to do it at all, because sim-school, much like real-school, is worthless! You'd think the private schools in Simland would be better, but they're only a marginal improvement on public school. Everyone knows the Pescado Military Homeschooling Program is More Awesome Than You. TEN-HUT!

Or even it is, even in our present fascist police state, nobody loses their kids for letting them build a snowman. Yet. I'm sure they'll make it illegal eventually when "terrorists" find a way to use snowmen in their plots.
