Thanks for the link.
While it is good that parents care so deeply about their children's safety, a little rationality is definitely required. The chance of your kid being abducted while playing unsupervised is incredibly low and the benefits of play to a child's development is enormous. Many schools and councils are also introducing ridiculous bans on things like tree climbing, conkers, candles on birthday cakes, cartwheels etc. I fear that sheltering kids from any and all risk will lead to adults with a reliance on the state to make decisions for them.
