Geez, just today my son (6) says "we played tag at recess today, my legs hurt from the girls chasing me"

Without Tag, homosexuality could run rampant!

and your reply... "that's my boy!"

i know this is america where we can have all sorts of lawsuits, but i think any competent parent / person pretty much says "that's kids being kids"

If "chased and harrassed against their will" refers to being dragged into the game against their will by bullies, in which case there might be merit (although I still think kids should look after themselves for the most part). If it means they willingly entered the game of tag and got upset when someone chased them, well that's like HD DVD fanboys complaining that Disney is exclusive even though they knew full well about it when they bought their players.

(Trying to keep it at least relevant to the forum.)

isn't that why there are teachers on the playground? keep an eye on that kind of behavior and allow them to just have fun.

Nah, that would make too much sense.

It is getting ridiculous the way things are today. Its no wonder we live in a society where someone trips and then needs to find someone to sue because they fell. These kids are just going to grow up to be wimps with no backbone.

It's already happening, people taking no responsibility for their actions.
Whatever happened to accountability. I guess the new school of thought is, taketh it away, rather than punish offenders.
