[QUOTE="Andy, post: 366473, member: 5096"] Where are they getting the ideas from? How old is the oldest neighborhood kid involved? I love the idea of neighborhood kids joining together in a game, however, I would put a rule on this one that NOONE gets tied up or locked in a room no matter if they agree to it or not. That can be very dangerous if the game changes subjects and someone forgets to go untie/unlock them. I also agree with no tickling. Their imaginations can include pretending to be tied if they wish. There may be atleast one who does not like it but for fear of ridicule from the others is going along with it. It could give the younger players nightmares that are confusing their parents? If the younger ones get scared, their explanations to their parents can cause you to be questioned as to why this is being allowed? I know if I went looking for one of my kids in the neighborhood and found them tied up, I would be scared. Have you talked to the other's parents? Are they aware of what is going on? I can imagine receiving an angry call from another parent, "My child is being tied up and you knew about it? What are you doing in your house?" I bring up the question about the oldest kid involved because if the idea is coming from an older teen, there may be some control issues to address - is this kid looking at "controlling" all the others by giving them these "fun" ideas? I guess I am on the fence with this one. I would want more info but also would keep a closer eye on everyone until I decide. First step, give out the rules of no tieing up, no locking, no tickling. Second step find out the source of the game - whose idea was it and where did they get that idea? It really could be an innocent game that just needs to have a few rule adjustments but you want to make sure. [/QUOTE]
