Wow.. None of you have ever heard of parents exposing their kids to chicken pox? This is an old old practice... People were doing that when my 76 year old father was a kid!
Is it stupid now that there are so many fewer things to die from as an adolescent that the risk of chicken pox complications seems foolhardy? Yes.. It's not a good idea.
In fact, it IS stupid!
Whats even stupider is looking like a nail for journalists, the medical field and government and bored law enforcement with (apparently) nothing better to do with their time...
