[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn’t Ramona only 4 when she played at the playground outside the community center where Beezus took an art class? That struck me. Nobody could do that now.

We coddle our children so much [/quote]

The difference between Ramona's Kindergarten, where she was working on writing her own name, and taking a nap, and playing outside, and her mom stopped walking her to school after showing her the way one time, and 2024 Kindergarten is startling.

For real. We live two houses away from the bus stop and are required to pick our kindergartener up every day (even though she has an older sibling on the bus). Paranoid people like the PP who is concerned someone will kidnap and rape her child have ruined the country for our children.[/quote]

I am the pp.  I am not paranoid.  Do you not read the news?  And no I am not ruining your children's childhood because my four year old isn't playing by herself in the playground.  Why don't you fight the system if it is so important to you?  Let others parent how we wish.

The rate of stranger abduction of children remains as exceedingly rare today as it was in the 1950s, poster.

Today as in the 1950s, the place children are most likely to be harmed both physically and psychologically is in the home - or in the care of persons trusted by the family, including extended family members and various in loco parentis guardians in a child's life such as Scout master, teacher, coach, pastor, neighbor, etc.

While I have nothing but sympathy for John Walsh and his family, his zealous mission to put the fear into all of America's parents after the horrific loss of his son did a huge disservice to America's kids, I think.
