Almost everyday you can find news on young children being kidnapped, or die in accidents because the caregiver "looked away for a second." But then there are regular articles like this one, saying children's social development and creativity suffers when they don't have enough unsupervised outdoor free play.
So what's a parent to do? Let them roam free in the neighborhood and risk being abducted and/or get into a serious accident? Or keep an eye on them everywhere and stunt their growth?

The unusual captures our attention. The common goes unnoticed. You want to take precautions, of course, but not to the point that it inhibits growth.
