Free Range Kids...

My daughter reads this blog and sent this link to me.

I'm sorry that present day children are being "caged", and they are starting to show the huge negative affect it has on their emotional and rational growth, their freedom of spirit, and their ability to see the wonders of this world through the eyes of a child. A child learns so much by exploring his or her world without being on a leash.

Nothing done in life can ever guaranteed to be 100% safe. Freedom to explore our world, as I or my children had, is still possible if we can stop the fear mongering that is going on.

When the media goes hysterical when a child is missing for a few hours, we can react to help look for the child. We don't have to lock ours up!

The media may think it is saving a life but they are just creating jailers of parents and prisoners of their children. Also, the media knows that FEAR sells papers and advertizing!

Country children usually have a lot more freedom than city kids, to grow up free of their society's highly inflated fears for their safety.

Back down Boseman, Montana, and listen to the Ranchers and Farmers at least! Chill! And Macy's.. shame on you. really. Shame on you for not handling this whole thing differently. Outrageous!
