Maurice Sendak Tells scared parents to "Go To Hell".
I had a rant here about how children's literature and arts becoming too 'safe' and overly concerned parents create a stagnant world for children to grow up in. Honestly, though, Sendak's bit about Mickey Mouse at the end says it all. It's a big industry to keep parents afraid and buying books, safety devices, etc. Some are reasonable (and common sense). Some are too much.
