Holy crap, who needs science to freakout over, when there are crazies on the loose?
First the 8yo kid murdered by some random stranger in Brooklyn, and now some dude who says he was high on PCP started freaking out in a Maryland Best Buy, grabbed the nearest 2yo--who was not his--and ran out the door, with the kid's dad in hot pursuit.
I think this week as dealt a temporary, but non-trivial setback to the free-range kid movement. No more letting your toddler go by herself to buy a projection TV at the nearest big box stores.
