[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5843424, member: 19675"] I agree and disagree. Yeah, the entire group is reeling and still finding their feet. They will make stupid moves. But the nature of the stupid moves re: Carl's supervision I think are a tad unrealistic. Even within modern society, parents of today take extreme reactions to the dangers of the day, as mentioned, restricting unsupervised play in dangerous areas even when the anger is far more speculative. Kids in a gang infested neighborhood simply don't have the privilege of wandering off without warnings & admonitions...and there is no question as to the amount of PTSD in the populations of those areas. That said, the closest thing to what they're going through would be the plight of war refugees or the victims of ethnic cleansing. And in those populations, too, parents suffering from PTSD manage to at least verbally warn their kids about the dangers of wandering off to far. Many don't let their kids wander, period. In this series, Carl's parents vacillate between having him under lock & key and letting him be a free-range kiddo. At the very least, I'd have expected some kind of buddy system to be in effect, and not necessarily just for Carl. (BTW, I [I]still[/I] think this is one of the better shows on TV in some time, and my favorite treatment of ZA fiction since [I]Shaun[/I] & [I]28 Days[/I].) [/QUOTE]
