The only reason that children stay out of the road is because their parents told them to? Why don't they do the same thing for other things that are dangerous? <br> <br> No, as a child I did not play with things I was told not to and my parents supervised me. Kids that didn't listen, or who had parents that didn't supervise them where the ones that got injured. <br> <br> One thing I didn't like as a child was dumb kids and irresponsible parents taking the fun and functionality out of everything. Toys that don't shoot, swings that don't swing, fans that don't spin, and scissors that don't cut because some idiot cannot supervisor or discipline their own child to listen. <br> <br> Why is it the responsibility of everyone else to raise the children of bad parents. How about this, if you cannot raise your child it should be the parents legal responsibility to find the help they need. <br> <br> Personal responsibility of ones own children should be the key factor
of child safety, not the government sticking warning signs and putting up orange fences everywhere. How did we make it so many years without all the government raising our children? Maybe Darwin's theory of evolution should play out in some instances. <br> <br> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>J Ford <privatejf32@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> A.
