New York rules kids games unsafe

New York State bureaucrats have identified a potentially deadly hazard facing our children this summer - freeze tag.

That's right, officials have decided the age-old street game - along with Wiffle Ball, kickball and dodgeball - poses a "significant risk of injury."

And classics like Capture the Flag, Steal the Bacon and Red Rover are also deemed dangerous in new state regulations for day camps.

The law sought to close a loophole that legislators said allowed too many indoor camp programs to operate without oversight.

Under the new rules, any program that offers two or more organized recreational activities - with at least one of them on the risky list - is deemed a summer camp and subject to state regulation.

When I first read this article I thought it was one of those fake news items from The Onion. Then I find out it's real! Adults have are ruining childhood. First they took the fun out of organized sports like baseball and hockey. Now they are killing playground fun. No wonder kids are into drugs. It helps get through the boredom.
