    I’ve got four kids, youngest 17, and they all seem oblivious to stuff. Maybe it’s because social media has taken over their lives.

    I’ve asked them before and not one of them said that they had any kind of awareness stuff apart from some social media type stranger danger things.

    I was talking to my kids about this only this week.

    Back when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s in the UK, kids were brought up aware of the dangers of things like electricity, large bodies of water, roads etc, but all that has fallen by the wayside. We even had a rally driver visit our school as some sort of education program around how to drive safely.

    I guess it just isn’t profitable to educate any more.
