I have to be careful where I let my mind go.  After Sandy Hook, a deep part of me wants to set up outside my kid's school with an arsenal and question everyone who looks like they don't belong.

Indeed.  One in preschool and the other in kindergarten.   :)

Somewhat related.  It's about how feminism is encouraging helicopter parenting too.

Black Hawk Helicopter Parenting?

'Letting your kids have a little independence can be stressful,    Sikorski Aircraft would like to help for as little as $99999 a month we can relieve your  stress with one of our Black Hawk specials, always keep an eye on them from the sky in case they scrape their knee at the play ground or start to fall in with the wrong crowd so you can take quick action.  Don't think about the cost think about the children because if it saves them from just one little danger it's worth it"

Okay, not sure if anyone caught the first story about the couple in Maryland that let their two kids ages 10 and 6 1/2 walk home alone from a park a mile away from their house. For those that missed it:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/20/living/feat-md-free-range-parents-under-attack/

They are back in the news again...this time the local cops picked the kids up and held them for 3 hours at the police station, and then dropped the kids off at a crisis center where the kids were held for another 2 hours, without notifying the parents who were searching for them.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/13/living/feat-maryland-free-range-parenting-family-under-investigation-again/index.html

WTF. :GA:

See all those people were right about psychopaths kidnapping their kids

They made them look bad therefore they must pay.

They'd have to take over half of the kids in custody here in this village. And in the range of 6,5 to 10 years, up to 80% or more.


What is the idea, accompany your kids all the time, till the day they are 18, and then they are grown up and can do it all by themselves?

Amber is 22, soon to be 23, Carla and I have made major efforts to pull back on the hovering and mega worrying.  We even bought her a car to get around Portland Maine and other areas for school and shopping.   Surprising how she is learning to not give us heart attacks with her driving skills and is actually turning into a very good driver.  Her confidence is way up there.  Highways don't bother her as much as they used to.  Slowly, but surely she is edging her way out of the nest.  We do realize that she is much like I was at her age, a late bloomer.  But, so far the signs are encouraging!   :thumbup:

I was about to post this IQ but you beat me to it.  :ninja:

It's absolutely despicable, the power that the state has over the children of it's citizens.
