Here we go again, folks, the yearly Halloween edition of pedophilic child molester are after your kids in the local paper. They are in every house you know, and you can't let your kids out of your sight because 'these days' it 'just isn't safe'. Bullshit.
The only difference in the times is Youtube and sensationalized news. There are no more sex offenders, islamic radicals, white supremicists, pr aspiring aspirin poisoners then there were 25 years ago-you just hear about them more. Its like some kind of excuse to use for why your kids grow up maladjusted with no social skills or self identity. Charting every second of their existence from birth through college is not doing them any favors. It just means Junior is that much less self reliant and increases the likelihood of them ending up in your basement unemployed after college. Kids still go outside from morning to supper time-unfortunately not enough. I spend more time having tiffs with parents of 7 year olds than my kids do with the 7 year olds because somewhere it got fashionable to fight kids' battles for them.It's pathetic.
