My God, how about teaching children right from wrong and consequences. You cannot hide everything from a child or they will not be able to function in the adult world once they reach it.

Stop dumbing down our children, make them functional.

Some risks are just to expensive to take a chance on. Fires in a place like Southern California are one of them.

There's a reason young children can't drive cars, not that they don't try it sometimes. There's no shortage of mistakes for them to make. They should be protected from the worst of them.

You teach your kids right and wrong with things that don’t cause fatalities. I don’t have a problem with teaching right from wrong, but some things you don’t mess around with.

Right from wrong pales to a tin can soaring 30 feet in the air...even when it blows out all the neighbors windows. Ask my brothers. And they function fine. Dads all. Successful all.

You might not get a second chance to make the kid functional.

You can't leave dangerous objects around and expect that most kids will not be curious.
