[Steppes] Fwd: [Ansteorra] Youthful Combatants

[Susan Hill]

My chief concern is that, if the minor is injured, is Children's Protective 
Services going to go after the parent/guardian for allowing the child to 
participate in the activity; or will they go after the SCA group? All the 
waivers in the world won't protect from something like that. As a parent of 
a teenaged boy, and, having had a 'contact' made by Children's Services in 
another state over something much more benign, I give a lot more thought to 
things like this than a lot of people might. I would be very hesitant to 
allow my son to 'play with the big boys' in a contact activity like this. 
Fortunately he hasn't shown much interest in fighting, just archery and 
thrown weapons.

As soon as a minor is hurt, who is going to get sued...
The adult.
