Two comments. Maybe we should have kids from 1-4 wear life jackets non stop if we are really so concerned about their health.
The other is that I find it absolutely devastating the the 3rd highest cause of death in 5-14 year old is suicide is beyond devastating.
The fact that adults have become hardened enough to feel like it is ok to jeopardize kids for their perceived safety is literally sickening to me. Whether that perceived safety is avoiding illness or not making in waves in society or simply complying with government "mandates". What have we done? Name any member of the animal kingdom that does this?
