[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New post article up with actual statistics

"So where does that leave us in the debate over "free-range" children? Kids are dying less. They're being killed less. They're getting hit by cars less. And they're going missing less frequently, too. The likelihood of any of these scenarios is both historically low and infinitesimally small."[/quote]

Shhhh - the helicopter moms will have none of this. They will say it is safer because of their helicoptering. I say they are making their teens and eventual college students and adults unsafe by smothering them. We will all continue to disagree. [/quote]

Shhhh - the Range Rover parents will have none of this. They will say it has nothing to do with child neglect laws being in place. [/quote]

Which child neglect laws? I am curious how that even makes a difference in the article. [/quote]
