[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 366546, member: 3419"] [INDENT][I]I don't see it as much different than cowboys and indians that we used to play as kids. The only difference being, we didn't really tie anyone up. I would not allow anyone to be physically tied up, or locked in a room- they can use their imaginations as we did.[/I] I agree, and also, that it is not totally out in left field, because there are so many TV shows, movies and news articles about this. It's unfortunate that the kids don't "get it" in regard to how harmful it really is, but they are kids, after all. I would also wonder about the thought process. When we were kids, we were actually tied up, but I think it was more of a big brother/little sister bratty thing. My brother added a notch to our regular game of Capture the Flag or whatever it was, by tying me to a tree, with-my hands behind my back. Then he and the other kids forgot about me. I gnawed through the twine (the kind we used to tie our books ... am I aging myself) with-my teeth. I'm still p*ssed. :angry: No one would have interrogated me. I was very boring. You/I/we seem to know more about our kids than our parents knew about us. That's good and bad. Parents can worry themselves sick over nothing. Then again, they have to have an idea of what their kids are doing, who they're spending time with, and where they are. Catch-22 for sure. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
