Thanks :-)

Yeah, that is a totally different situation and I only have knowledge of one-side (child's POV) so far. My thought on the topic at the moment is that parents should definitely safe-guard children from life threatening and other irreversibly catastrophic situations. Other situations will mostly be a judgment call, erring on the side of freedom, rather than caution.

As Paul Buchheit said: advice = limited life experiences + over generalization

BTW, I live in Washington state, which smothers you with its motherly laws.

I live in Australia - we might be getting a bigger firewall than China's - I know all about Nanny States.

When I have kids, one of my aims as a parent will be to try and err on the side of freedom. (Although I can see that will be a hard choice to make at points). Also - this was a good link I picked up off here/reddit recently: http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/
