And what society have we created for our children? We used to be able to play freely wherever we wanted. Now I wouldn't let my children out of my sight. If they don't have the options we did as we were children, how can we deny them their online entertainment? I completely understand where you are coming from. These are issues I argue in my mind everyday.

That's the thing, believe it or not the world is safer today than ever before, we have just been bombarded with horrible news stories for too long, everyone is scared. For the last 4yrs We habe traveled for six months of the year with the children and have never once felt unsafe even in North Africa. Things have changed I agree, but I think it's mostly people's fears that have changed.
Thanks for reading and commenting on this post.
That's a good point. I think in SA with our really high crime rate and abysmal driving standards, we are more cautious. Also, if I remember what I did as a child, I can hardly bear to let mine out of my sight!!!
Ok, yeah then I understand your point, yes I would also be very cautious.
