Mah childrens is unsafe!

Posted by Glaiel-Gamer - October 27th, 2008


Another day, another blog entry. I was watching the news the other day, and they were talking about the dangers of letting your kids go trick-or-treating. Ya, I understand stuff like watching out for poisoned candy and razor blades in apples, but they didn't even cover the whole "check your candy" part of the Halloween danger. They didn't cover the one thing that could actually be a risk. What did they cover then? They warned parents about sexual predators that are after their kids and living in their neighborhood.

It got better too. they interviewed a "concerned mom" and she basically said, in the traditional stumbling through words accent of the type of people they interview on the news, "I knows da apeal of trick-or-treating and why ma kidz woud want to go, but I just dunt think that itz safe en-e-more in todays soc-i-ety. It wuz safer in da past but it aint no how no mo safe like it uset da be."

Really? Is it really any different today than it was years ago? Sexual predators existed in the past too you know, it's not like they suddenly came into being when you started watching the news. I feel sorry for that lady's kids, who have to miss out on getting free candy because their overprotective mom is afraid that the moment she blinks while walking them through the neighborhood at night they will be swept up by the hundreds of predators stalking her kids while they, and 500 other people, are walking house to house getting candy.

If anything, Halloween is a safe night to be out. The streets are well lit, and there's a lot of people out at the same time. As long as people stay in a group and in public then they will be fine. I'm sick of people thinking that the world is a more dangerous place today than it was in the past. The only real difference is that the news has found better ways to scare people.

get off newgrounds

yes actually it was much different before retard think before typing and yeah getting raped and killed is more dangeruos than poisned candy

Yeah I hate that. I only watch news related to business/ currency and at the minute the elections. Most of it's a load of rubbish. The only reason I didn't go that far trick or treating was because for some reason I thought it was impolite :S Nowadays I just stay home mostly and eat a bucket of sweets that was supposed to be for other people.

Overprotective parents suck
</agree with Glaiel>

What college do you attend?

what the hell is it with people and telling random people to get off newgrounds. Its bloody strange, and frustrating.

Hells yeah!

don't forget, candy is pretty fuckin bad for you too.

Death619, I think you're the one who should get off this site. The guy made a good point. You shouldn't go around being a dick.
