> I don't want my daughter taken away because I let her go camping.

From the parent comment:

> The days of packs of children running around town or exploring the woods are long gone, due to fears of dangerous men and accidents.

Fear is fear. What you fear will manifest itself further if you and others continue to fear it.

This is a collective action problem. My own lack of fear will have no effect of the actions of CPS if they decide I am a negligent parent because other people could have been afraid to let their kid go camping.
