Every couple of months it seems the news is full of articles going on about the Dangers of Crocs! and every couple of months, I have to shrug and say so what? If you’re a parent, and your child is one of the poor, unfortunate souls who gets hurt riding an escalator in their crocs, well, maybe you should reevaluate your parenting.

If you, as a parent, are paying enough attention to your offspring while riding up a level at the mall, airport, stadium, then chances are your child will be perfectly safe. Its when we’re busy sending text messages, or chatting on the phone or to the person next to you or just standing there staring off in to space remembering what life without the rugrat at your side was like that their most likely to get hurt. This society has gotten to a point where its easier to look for someone to blame when someone gets hurt (whether its in a pair of crocs on an escalator or at the ball park) than to evaluate what you could have done to prevent it.

Warning signs on escalators, hair driers, toasters and cereal boxes are well and good but we need to question whether or not we need them in the first place. Maybe not having those warnings will help make the human race smarter and better off in the long run (I’ve always believed a little chlorine in the gene pool might not be a bad thing ) Oh and if you’re soooo concerned about your child in their crocs, don’t let them wear them. Emma and Grace love theirs…
