Our village creates standards of safety that take account of the entirety of various experiences. Someone who has never had a bad experience may be unaware of certain possibilities. Others who have experience can point out bumps in the path to those who come behind. We don't require each and every person to discover each and every bump on the road on their own.

If you saw a parent consistently putting children into the car without any kind of safety restraint, I would hope you would speak up for those children and call CPS. We do what we can to lower risk when we can, and seat belts and car seats have been shown to reduce death and injury in car accidents, so we do have regulations about safety restraints for children in cars. We have decided as a society that we should require adults and children to wear seat belts and sit in car seats.

I don't think that "village" means what you think it means. (I'm assuming that you're the same PP who has previously talked about how laws represent the will of the village.)  Or if it does, I'm glad that I live in a county with over a million people, instead of in a village where everybody is always all up in my business about every little thing that is none of theirs.[/quote]
