I agree with you on this one. I think the headline is misleading. The story isn't really about tag as much as it's about kids playing too rough.

Out of curiosity, have you ever monitored and been in charge of a playground full of kids?

I've had to monitor gyms filled with kids and outdoor play at homeschool cooperatives and group meetings. There were only a few parents who disagreed (even argued) with me because I'd stepped in and/or stopped a "game". My reasoning was: If your child gets hurt when I'm on duty, who are you going to blame?

I had only ever monitored my own kids until assisting and then teaching 4th grade at a Christian school. Boy, was I in for a surprise. The kids do the goofiest things, as if they are trying to get hurt!
