At this stage there is absolutely no good reason for children to be still seen as pariahs, these mythical creatures who can kill people with a mere glance.

JRant wrote: » More of a danger? Think about the language you are using here. Children are no more a danger than adults and studies are starting to show the inverse is actually true. Seriously, I get that this can be unsettling for a lot of people but viewing children as a danger is plain wrong.
