Why not? If the area is being monitored so that there is no risk of conflict, then there is no opportunity for somebody to be harmed

And there was monitoring going on in this case? Hardly. Also, safe monitoring assumes fault-free humans, hardly probable. I'd say we'd be just a little safer if we ban the flying of model aircraft in the area of an airport, or helipad.

Comment Where abuse starts (Score 1) 431

Teaching kids nonsense like this is detrimental to their development in many areas. Sadly, when US parents murder their children for religious reasons, the courts have basically said: "shame on you, try not to kill them the next time". When they do kill them the next time the courts have again said: "Shucks, that wasn't nice of you. Give us your wrist so we can slap it, and don't do it again".

Religious fruit-cakes in the US have far too much liberty in abusing their children. Bastardizing their education should not be one of them, neither should killing them, but apparently that is almost OK.
