I voted no. I feel that if society (in general) did overprotect children, then I wouldn't feel like I had to watch mine like a hawk. I understand that numbers are going down, laws are getting harsher, but the bottom line is (very) bad things are still happening to children right under their parent's nose. So I take it upon myself to watch my children carefully and do everything to keep them out of harm's way.

Hey my mother was (smotheringly) overprotective of my brother and I (for good reason), and I think we turned out okay, I can definitely balance my checkbook!
