From the article:

Risky play is associated with greater resilience, self-confidence, problem-solving and social skills such as cooperation, negotiation and empathy, according to studies by Sandseter and others. When a study in Leuven, Belgium, gave four- and six-year-olds just two hours a week of opportunities for risky play over the course of three months, their risk-assessment skills improved compared with those of children in a control group2. In this study, the risky play took place at school, in a gym class and in the classroom.

    Talk to the girl you like? Believe it or not, you’re an alpha-toxic male and probably a pedophile.

    Somehow I’ve never seen any real person face this issue, but I sure hear a lot about it from incels.

      I just read a case where this group of young college kids (18+) lured this army guy (around 22 I think) to their campus using a dating app. They mobbed him, chase him to his car calling him a pedo, and tried to kidnap him. He called the cops and I think 6 of them were arrested. They went to this catholic college and I’ll try to find the story later. This students claimed they were doing the “To catch a…” trend so it does happen.

        So one group of college kids did this, they were arrested, and that proves it’s a common occurrence for young kids?

            Since GP was explicitly talking about things happening to a 12 year old, your example is just not relevant.

            Even if we were talking about everyone, it’s not relevant. You can find some story about something happening to anyone - doesn’t mean it’s something that “happens to people”.

      To be fair especially on that second accusation it probably depends how old “that girl you like” is
