I expected that...
Murderers have been around as long as humanity. They will always be with us.
It is precisely BECAUSE murderers are evil that parents OWE it to their children to teach them about the danger. Failure to do so is a failure of parenting.
I'm sorry that offends you. I'm sorry we no longer live in the Garden of Eden, I'm sorry we can't detect murderers in advance. But for Gods sakes you two need to GROW UP!
Failing to teach your children common sense methods of protecting their own safety just because there SHOULDN'T BE ANY MURDERERS, is just plain naive and stupid. And the results are obvious.
How do you know they didn't? I have a child this age and have harped on her about these things since she was a child. But kids are kids. They don't always listen to their parents and they learn. They shouldn't die while learning. That's what growing up is about. Parents can't keep them tied up and out of the world. IT'S NOT THE PARENTS FAULT!!! Every parent should be offended by your words.
