Exactly. Parents aren't doing their jobs. If I did something wrong or stupid that ended in me getting injured, no matter how minor, my parents would say to me, "Well, then...don't do it again!" Now, parents don't do that. Half the reason there are such restrictions on content shown on television is due to the fact that parents don't even bother to monitor what their kids are watching, resulting in tons of censorship.
Also, this prevents kids from learning from experience. Well, like Elgin, if you slide in those half-frozen mud puddles and get dirty and wet and disgusting, you know not to do it. But oh no! They're not allowed outside when there are puddles! They could slip on it!
I nearly got detention in
elementary school for not wearing a jacket to school on a day they thought I should have been! Kids are so sheltered and babyed (babied?) these days.
I say...LET THEM PLAY TAG!
