Dear Lisa, I am sorry you need help keeping your three kids safe for the Easter Egg Hunt. Bet your kids show up in the lower 25percent. Please tie those tubes.

Typical men, always too macho when it comes to helping ideas. As a single mother of 3 I am always looking for tips to help keep my kids safe, so thank you. If more people would stop thinking they know it all and be open to help, there would be less children I see at the children’s hospital in the ER because of "accidents".

And we wonder why we are behind so many other countries as an educated country. Our society seems to have a need to be protected from itself and a government that thinks it knows what is best for us in every aspect of our lives. Pure dumbness!
