Safe Spaces

Safe-space: a place to go where all is good, little responsibility is required, needs are met, and contrary things are avoided.  These are the spaces where children grow up.  In the olden times, kids had a tree house.  They grew out of that by size.  Times have changed.  Many, especially those affluent, grow up in physical safe spaces, a kid-designated den where children live. They all contain normal kid toys, kid chairs, a cell phone, computer, and TV where only kid-venues are tuned.  In less affluent environs, kids live in personal safe-spaces, in their rooms with their cell and computer always on.  Contacts are through text and other social media.  Adults have scarcely any knowledge of their world and what transpires in it.  It is a world of filters, allowing in only what they desire.
