Detergent pods

I've already posted on a couple of other sites, but am trying to spread the word as much as possible.
As much as I worry about the possibility of this becoming a "Big Brother is watching" state, sometimes, as in the case of a strange comment about how you need a license to own a dog, drive a car, get married, etc. - - you do not need one to have, or raise children. I was appalled recently when on a news cast, I learned that over 7,000 children have died or been critically harmed by playing with these new detergent pods and they are considering forcing the soap companies to discontinue this method of dispensing detergent.
For heavens sake, this is a definite action of killing the messenger! Where are the parents of these kids? Why is the detergent stored where a small child can gain access to it? I had 4 kids with the oldest being 5 years old at one time, yet I never came even close to having any accident of this kind. Cleaning and laundry items were kept in a cabinet high above the washer/dryer, even when I lived in a small two bedroom apartment where, instead it was kept in my bedroom on a top shelf in the closet. A sixth sense just told me to keep it away from the kids but I'm afraid these new parents today just don't have that sixth sense anymore. There are just too many shootings, and children falling from terraces, and other awful accidents that befall little ones. What is going on? I realize this is a movie site, but perhaps part of the problem is that people just don't talk to each other any longer. As a young mother, all my friends were also young mothers, and when we gathered at parties or picnics, we talked about these things. Nowadays at parties, everyone is tapping away on some contrived electronic device. They say hello and goodbye, and little else in between.
Am I as usual, worrying about nothing?
