[quote=Anonymous]I heard them on NPR and i totally chnaged my opinion on this family. before, I thought they were just wackadoodles who want their kids out with some weird card b/c they have some weird agenda, but after the NPR interview, I found them to be thougtful caring parents. The interviewer kept pushing the kidnapping angle - aka "your kids could get taken by a stranger" and the parents said that every statistic they have seen has shown that stranger kidnapping is almost non-existent... They made the point that most strangers are nice people - and the kids are allowed to talk to strangers. I thought it was very interesting - almost more empowering than the culture of fear that is so prevalent. That said, my kids are sure as hell not walking on such roads for so far alone....[/quote]
