[QUOTE="donner, post: 1569328, member: 277"] i can't remember the exact statistics, but i caught a good discussion about this one day on NPR. The guest had done lots of studies on these ideas and the two things that stuck in my memory were this. First, most people are worried about their kids, but the idea of something bad happening while they are responsible is actually a bigger fear. Second, from a statistics standpoint, a kid would have to play outside for something like 125,000 [I]years[/I] to guarantee an abduction. I'll see if i can find the story because it was interesting. I'm not trying to disparage any parents either, but it was an interesting look at how our fears transfer to our actions. [/QUOTE]
