PARENTS' ATTEMPTS AT 'PROTECTION' DO CHILDREN NO FAVORS IN LONG RUN

Michael E Lewyn, Florida Coastal School of Law

Abstract

Some parents keep their children locked up inside Mommy's car and house until they learn to drive, fearing that their children will not be safe outside. But car accidents have killed far more children than pedophiles - a fact which suggest that the dangers of too little freedom may exceed the dangers of too much freedom.
