"One of parents’ greatest fears is of ‘stranger danger’ –
prompted in part by intense media coverage of cases of
child abduction, which can give the incorrect impression
that this type of incident is on the increase. "
- Because it's not. Where do you live ????
"Rather than having a nanny state, where regulation and
risk aversion dominate the landscape, we need to aspire
to a child-friendly society."
- First inspire a "child-friendly society", prove that it exists,
and then we can talk about the rest. Idea sounds good, but
I can see you are very clever in your own room detached from
the reality.
"In 1971 eight out of ten children aged seven or eight
years went to school on their own. By 1990 this figure
had dropped to less than one in ten.
In 1971 the average seven-year-old made solo trips to
their friends or the shops. By 1990 that freedom was
withheld until the age of ten. "
- Because you want your 7 year old to walk on the streets alone in a city?
Are you out of your f..g mind?
"Parental fear of letting children play unsupervised is
limiting children’s freedom, to the detriment of their
physical, mental and emotional well-being."
- I have friends in South Africa. There you can't play alone,
walk alone unsupervised. Everyone of them had a better
childhood than me. This is just unfounded.
I don't know what is he fighting for but he clearly has no clue.
