Abstract
There was a time not long ago when children living in rural areas of the Northeast or upper Midwest could roam freely and not be concerned with bodily harm. Stay-at-home moms chased children outdoors telling them to “go play,” and choices were often left to the imagination of the child. Knowing to avoid poison ivy or oak, children could pick a spot most anywhere to lie in the grass or forest floor. Wading or swimming in the nearest creek or pond with buddies was pursued without second thought. Those days appear to be gone.
