Oh please, child endangerment...... We are turning our childrens,children into pampered ,protected and coddled creatures. Parents are afraid to discipline these children because child services can swoop in and take the children away. How many times have you endured a screaming child in a restaurant because the parents do not dare or care to correct them in a public place. I simply removed my children from public situations when they were misbehaving. I am sometimes appauled at how children sass their elders with no reprimand from the parents.Discipline and love have to be equal in raising a child.
It all comes down to common sense and their seems to be an enormous lack of that these days, such as allowing children driving carts without an adult. I will let my grandchild drive the cart and I will not put him or myself in a dangerous situation while doing so.I won't take him out in traffic, or on the golf paths when they are busy, but I cannot see the danger of driving around the neighborhood or up and down the driveway.
