>parents warned<p>It's not really the point of the article (some of these folks in the story are adults) but I was thinking about this.<p>I always wonder about these warnings to parents, if they have any use.<p>Are any parents who would hear / listen to such a warning have kids at who are seriously at risk?<p>As a parent I hear other parents talk about various risks, and I always think "Uh ... yeah your kid is the last kid I think would do that." and so on. The parents who are less present / have other challenges / aren't connected with their kids, they aren't bringing these things up.
