      Multiple people in the thread are talking about using them because of worries about a kid running out into traffic.

      Quit pretending that a statement has to apply 100% of the time in every possible circumstance in order to be generally true.

      It was a disconnected and incoherent thought, but I’ll give it a pass because in America we really do seem to be doing everything possible to make our neighborhoods as lethal as possible.

      As for leaches on children, I guess it’s they’re used in some medical cases like reattached limbs that need blood-flow, but leaches are kind of gross and don’t serve much good besides those few examples, so I don’t know why we’re trying to use them again on children in particular.
