That is a very dangerous thing for impressionable children to learn, MHO. That being said, my point that I was trying to get across would be that if the kids were kidnapped while "free-ranging", a parental condemnation of the job performance or lack thereof by the police would be far more likely than calm acceptance of the fact that they exposed their kids to increased risks and got bitten.
