The obvious solution is that kids should also be on leashes, and only let off in designated areas. The other day this wee girl approached me and was about to wipe her sticky, disgusting fingers on my pant leg, grinning mindlessly at me all the while! Well, I told her mother in no uncertain terms that she needed to control her child, as not everyone enjoys interacting with children, who are, as is well known, pustulent bags of disease.

Sliver, you sound like one of those parents who refuses to take responsibility for your child, and instead, blames everyone else for their shortcomings. With a proper muzzle, leash, and close supervision, your daughter would have little to fear from dogs, bears, or other natural predators of children. Instead, your remedial parenting skills might have caused those poor dogs to pick up worms from your insufficiently hygienic offspring. For shame, sir. For shame!
