About This Quote

"I just love Lucy's idea about locking her up so she can't get out." There may be some truth to the idea that parents try to lock up their children in order to keep them safe. However, this is not a way to keep children safe. Babies and children are not things that parents can own. Parents cannot "lock up their" children.

Even if the parent could get away with it, it would still not be right or proper. The idea that parents can "lock up their children" is one of the worst ideas ever conceived. It is wrong on every level, wrong for all ages, and wrong for all ages of children.
