I'm highly skeptical of all the claims made by this blog, as the author isn't exactly making a well reasoned argument for unleashing children on the wilderness again (although I do find all the discussion here about child roaming positively riveting); citing a Daily Mail puff piece is one thing, but the crime stats (and interpretation) are pretty awful. The "Stranger Danger?" subsection in particular seems insane. 3% of children under 5 being murdered by strangers absolutely does not mean your child is safer with strangers.
