Thanks for the feedback. I think that's fair. One of the things I remember most from my sociology classes in college is that America has, in general, been getting safer for decades now, even though everybody thinks it's been getting less and less safe.
I think you're absolutely right that our product may do more to help parents feel secure letting their kids roam, rather than actually making them safer. Still, if it gets kids out more and helps parents feel more comfortable, I think that's a win.
Devil's advocate opinion: we can't objectively say society is 'safer', only that crime rates are down. Maybe crime rates are going down because people are more likely to stay hiding in their living rooms.
Exactly. I’m not sure I believe this, and definitely don’t have any evidence to back it up.
If kids are safer because they are staying at home, then we can’t criticise parents for not letting them out to play by themselves. That would be like saying Donald Trump doesn’t need bodyguards since very few presidents have been attacked.
More accidents happen at home than anywhere else, so perhaps kids are safer outside. As an example, my brother broke his arm in a pillow fight when he got knocked off the bed.
