I agree, not sure how you could take that many kids to a playground and keep them all safe and accounted for. I am a "worst case scenario" kind of person....what if the day you take all nine to the playground there is a child predator lurking, you know for a fact you can keep your TWO eyes on NINE kids at once? Doubt it! I'd sh**! If I knew my child was one of nine in a public place with one provider. (these parents must be crazy)
