If you allow your child, while running through the house, when specifically forbidden, to trip and fall, are you causing the pain?

If I knew that my child was going to die from the fall, I would not allow the child to run through the house!

If you could, would you remove your child’s free will?

What would you do to stop your child? What are the limits of your control? Would you essentially take away that child’s free will if that is what it took?

What if your child reached adulthood and was determined to commit suicide? To what extent would you stop your child?
