Horwitz on Parenting

“1.  Yes, you can be too paranoid when it comes to the safety of your children.  If your fear for their safety prevents them from learning the benefits of self-reliance, you are being “too paranoid” and engaging in “Corner Solution Parenting.”

2. Your children are in FAR more danger of being kidnapped or sexually abused at the hands of husbands and “trusted” friends and relatives than they are from strangers, especially in public like the example Skenazy discusses.  It is the same point made hilariously by South Park in “Child Abduction Is Not Funny.”
