[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the people who cite some anecdote and infer "never do X" from it, in particular when it comes to this topic of kids' freedom (even around the neighborhood). Why apply that logic to this topic but not others? Far more people die or have their lives irreversably altered by car accidents, yet you still drive (AND you drive your kids around town too, you neglectful parents).[/quote] Agreed. This is not logical thinking AT ALL. "one child was kidnapped in my home town and once I heard the story my daughter will never be out of my sight again"? I truly don't understand. So then we shouldn't drive a car, send our child to school, let them go to camp, cross a road, the list goes on. These events are SO RARE and should not be drastically changing our behavior.[/quote]
