Who said anything about a cage? Other than you? Hyperbole... says more about you than it does me.It's far more sane to put your kid in a cage so nothing can happen to them.
If you're one of the families affected by the abduction of a child, the numbers seem pretty damned significant...http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PageServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US&PageId=2810#1
So really your kid is more likely to die in a car wreck than have the paranoid abduction delusion play out. But nobody here would stop driving "For the children"... no, that's insane.
I feel sorry for the kids, because the parents are crippled mentally by fear.
I feel sorry for kids whose parents are crippled by stupidity, too.
