Think of the children

Via Explosm comes this comic about the importance of child safety.

I tend to think kids can figure it out themselves. We give kids like 10 years and then we go, “Oh, we can’t leave him alone, he’d die.” At 10, I could have made myself some food or microwaved leftovers or whatever. At the very least, I could have avoided lighting myself on fire or eating Draino. So how about instead of overparenting children, we just let them roam free. At the very least, it’d be an inexpensive retelling of Lord of the Flies.
