Hence the ability for mom to feel that you were safe even though well out of sight.

Now we are told by the likes of Hillary Clinton that, "It takes a village" to raise a child. But at the same time we take away the villager's ability to do so.

Is this evolving into a great country or what.

And here is what is amazing.

All this revelation over a simple little strap?????//
Franc,
Noting your first comment, I am originally from Britain, and looking back when we were kids, if you did something wrong, either the neighbor OR policeman would give you a clip around the ear,AND if you went home and told your parents, there was MORE than a good chance, you were going to get another one. AND another thing, back in them days, our front door at home was NEVER EVER locked, even overnight, and we had NEVER even heard of security alarms. How times have changed, in MANY cases for the worst.
