While looking ofr daycare for my kids, I came across a few that offered web based cam viewing of the kids/classrooms. My wife thought it was a great idea til I suggested that anyone could potentially view the kids....sex offenders, children theft services, etc. Sure the school offered password based access, but any system that is turned on can be compromised. Maybe it's the paranoid dad in me, but while it may be nice to see what my kids and teachers are doing, it scares me that some pediphile may be wat
You are an idiot. It is an order of magnitude more likely that your child would be raped/coerced to sex by your brother, uncle, father, cousin or another relative. Not to mention that you are extremely likely to mess up the life of the child in the future with your paranoia. No, Cindy, you can't go on a hiking trip with your class, a pervert may be hiding in the woods. No, Cindy, you can't go to a prom, there might be a paedophile there. No, Cindy, I don't like that boyfriend of yours, he seems to be sexual
I just thought I should point out this is one of those stats that loses its meaning out of context, sort of like "Most Car Accidents Occur Near Home, So Buckle Up Even For Short Trips". Well, yes, smartass, they do occur near home mostly. Why? Because 90% of car trips ARE NEAR HOME. IF you're constantly driving near where you live, it seems like it'd increase the chances of a wreck there, yes?
Same with kids being hurt by their family. Who do they see more... random pedos walking down the street, or their family?...
Seriously.
Likewise, most car accidents near home are in residential-ish areas, which typically have fairly low speed limits. While it would be unwise not to buckle up, your typical low-speed collision will not be aided by a seatbelt.
