There's a risk involved every time you walk out your front door. No sense staying indoors every day because there's a risk the branch on the tree in your yard might snap off and fall on you. The entire concept parents have of thinking every other person on the planet is out to molest their child is simply media-fueled paranoia, and nothing more. Do those people exist? Certainly they do, but the risk that something will happen to your child is negligible, and probably relatively the same whether you're with them or not. I applaud this woman and think she should be upheld as a model for all the overprotective mothers in the world smothering their children instead of letting them live their life.
Little Izzy is probably going to grow up to be more responsible, mature, and successful than his peers who cannot leave their mothers side until they hit 18.
