"Their judgment is ...if not impaired, it's incomplete, and you need to know some of the things your kids are up to that can put them in harm's way. You can't have a pie-in-the-sky respect for them. They're not ready for you to confer upon them this mantle of wisdom they quite frankly don't possess."
