i think that children should be told about the real life situations and evils of the world step by step. when a todler, say "Stranger Danger" and "Dont take candy from a stranger". then, when they are at least 7 or 8, tell them about to be careful out on the streets and watch out for cars and stuff. then, when you feel they are mature enough, tell them about kidnappers and rapists and child molesters, but still try not to scare them. its not about scaring them, but its just giving them a heads up. Side: Yes

I don't see how exposing a young developing, innocent mind to the harshness of life will protect them, human children don't have the life experience to be able to understand the gravity of certain things. Some things in life are horrible, but childhood, given the child has a normal one, isn't. As parents, it is our responsibility to protect our children and expose them to the world by degrees. Side: No

It really depends on how you classify a "young age". There are certainly aspects of this world that I'd teach my children, such as one person said above. However, there are other things that they should not know about. Unnecessary things. Horrific things. Cruel things. Side: No
