I can't say how many people have criticized my parenting for being so protective of my sons when they were little. I didn't trust them to ride their bikes alone in town, to wander around town like other kids. I did not trust ANYONE. I was ridiculed as a helicopter parent. This evil is REAL.

Now, my question is WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP THESE CHILDREN? What can we do collectively? I am surrounded by deaf, mute, masked, emotionless people in my town. If only I could find even 5 like me.
