Well, it looks to be like we should probably do away with pools, spas, sprinklers, bath tubs and showers....we better drain all the ponds, lakes, rivers and oceans.....

We also need to drug test anyone who drives a motor vehicle because the statistics are high in that area too. Bus drivers, taxi cab drivers, parents, heck, anyone with a drivers license should be randomly tested...or we could just do away with motor vehicles altogether. Gas is too high anyways...plus it would solve the obesity epidemic.....

And we can't possibly allow our children to spend time at home because statistics say that 36% of accidental injuries to children occur in their homes.....

Also did you see that statistics also say that 80% of homicides involving children are perpetrated by parents!!!!


"In 2010, parents, acting alone or with another person, were responsible for 71.0 percent of child abuse or neglect fatalities. More than one-quarter (26.6 percent) of these fatalities were perpetrated by the mother acting alone. " (The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS)


I am starting to think the safest place for a child is child care!!!! After all, we are governed by a set of rules put in place to protect the child.
my work here is done
