Someone pointed out to me an article in a newspaper where a 27-year-old man tied up a four-year-old girl so tightly it left rope burns. This is apparently sometime that happened several times. He now faces criminal charges.... and, IMO, deservedly so.

This is just a warning to people out there who think it is okay for adults to play TUGs with young children.
It is not, and in fact it may get you into big trouble!
Kids playing TUGs with kids their own age is fine, as long as reasonable safety precautions are carried out and no one is forced into it. But even though the girl in this case reportedly expressed no sense of reluctance, something like this is just plain wrong. People, TUGs should be played only between adults or, in the case of minors, with reasonably peer aged companions!
Four-years-old are NOT acceptable TUGs partners - even for older kids let alone adults!
