olga lorenzo : they are afraid, very afraid.



sadly, british parents are becoming just as stupid and afraid of nothing.



as lorenzo says, crime rates involving children are not up greatly, they stand a much higher chance of dying faaling down stairs at home or of being killed in a road crash, yet they are ferried everywhere in cars, prevented from leaving their home, prevented from making proper human contact with other children, other than the little they get at school.



it's stupid. it's unfair and i don't want it happening to any children. so, all you parents reading this : let your child have a life, for goodness sake, and stop wrapping her/him in cotton-wool - it won't do him/her any good in adulthood when she/he can't forma decent relationship and won't leave home without someone to hold his/her hand.
