This morning in the papers, one mother declared this saturday to be "Independence Play" day where you are supposed to leave your kids in the park and let them be socially independent for the day. Nope, we can not be somewhere nearby spying on our kids to make sure they are okay. We are supposed to teach them the art of survival by letting them roam free in the park. Are you CRAZY, woman?????!!!??? and the age that she suggests we start this "independence training" is around 7 or 8 years old. Once again, are you CRAZY, woman???!!!!??? With all the cases of kids being snatched away by people and not being found until today, what in the world are you thinking? Actually last year she put her 9-year-old son on the subway ALONE and asked him to find his own way home. Luckily he got home safely. Yer la, kalau tak sampai, I doubt she would carry on with this crazy and so so so stupid thing.
Normally, I would stopped myself at judging people but boy, do I judge this lady. She says the goal is to "teach youngsters independence and social skills - within limits". I mean you still can teach your kids to be independent and to be social with other kids without leaving them alone in the park or whatever place your kids are at. There are a lot of pedophiles out there that have so many ways of luring kids to follow them and 7 or 8 or even 9-year-old kids are not wise enough to be on their own while all these sickos are everywhere. Seriously, this woman need someone to put some sense into her head. She is saying that you can just "drop your kids off alone and the park and hope for the best" Hope for the best???? You are like playing with your kid's life by trying your luck!!!! It is like you're saying "If he is okay, then okay, if not..don't worry..I can get another kid" Hello..we are not talking about a puppy or a cat here!!!! Gosh..I am so furious right now. Ok, the papers have set up a voting poll to see if we think this is a good idea. Well, I know which way I am going to vote...
The world is full of ideas..including the stupid ones!!!
