There are lots of good people out there who try to keep an eye out for the safety of kids, and it isn't limited to parents. I can relate to your anxiety over the welfare of your future kids. That feeling only grows as they get older and steadily gain more independence. Guess we just have to set the best example we can, teach them, and hope they'll make the right decisions. Letting go can be very difficult.<br><br>@buzzbishop agreed, the graphic details they include in news reports can be shocking. I made a conscious decision not to link out to any of these stories from my post. Sadly there would be no shortage of candidates out there. Thanks for the link, I'll definitely check out your site! @Don – thanks, your goggles analogy is spot-on!

No. Kids change things. They really do.

I feel a need to watch out for kids too. Part of the reason I don't want children (right now) is because I am afraid of something horrible happening to them, because I know I won't always be there to watch over them. That's why I make an effort to be conscientious of the people around me and if they are in need. I don't even have kids, and I feel the same way as you. I feel a need to watch out for kids too.
