My comments are not insane. Let me rephrase so you can better understand. An adult, whether a parent of the child or not, cannot in reality sign away a childs rights. Waivers for children are not reconized in court systems. Therefore, if a child is hurt in the pits, a suit can and probably will be filed in court. The waiver a person signed will be worthless in court. An adult, of which I can only assume you are, can sign their own rights away, just not the rights of a minor child. I hope you have been sufficiently educated in the law, now you can add that to your obvious talents in the area of psychiatry.

And by the way, I think we all are more than willing to let parents do what they want with their children. It is when they do things with their child that potentially impacts others that causes the problems. Everyone wants rights, no one wants responsibility. As an example; before an accident, "By God it is my right to have my kid in the pits!"; after the accident, "It's not safe in the pits for my kid, they should have never let me bring him/her in here! By God I'm going to sue!" I believe in to each his own, but in todays society no one wants to take the responsibility once they have made a decision. Therefore, if I ran a track there would be no way I would allow minors in the pits, it would be a recipe for my business's demise.
