If anybody saw like I did the secret lives of five year old's documentary - intros were enough for me where adults were seen having a good laugh as they secretly watched them unknowingly lay their life bare - I am sure you would get where I am coming from. I know so many adults who see children as something bought and paid for and an investment to protect or in too many cases neglect. Would like feed back, maybe even a few poems on how others see this issue that I am passionate about. Shudder to think what comments would be about my secret life as a five year old and how they would have pigeon holed me.

Your somewhat effusive language in your description of kids is worrying, to be frank. You come across like someone who is rather too interested in children, to be honest... It may help explain why your thread has had almost a thousand views but this is only the second comment... May I suggest that you take the time to re-edit your post so that it doesn't come across as quite as creepy as it does at present?
