Kids are more likely to be injured in a car crash ... to drown ... to die in a house fire, than to be kidnapped by a random stranger. <br /><br />No, I don't let my little monsters run free. Just freer than yours.<br /><br />There really is no way to be a good parent these days. You are either breeding fear, or you are not protecting them adequately.
