Are the claims made against children and parents of the current generation true? Let Grow mentions particular examples, but how prevalent are these laws and the culture? It sounds like any other piece of scary garbage news. "Check candy for razor blades" is now the "dangers of participation trophies". I believe it's good to empower free range parents to organize, and to change unwelcome and unnecessary laws, and to promote cognizance of parents' own behavior. But I'd like to see more evidence and less anecdotes and conjecture about the damage caused by eighth place trophies.
