Is wearing a batman mask every day detrimental to your child's development?
A small boy comes into the library several mornings a week, wearing a hard molded plastic batman mask. His mother wears a permanently sour expression, that discourages comment or even a tender smile from staff. They march in and march out, rarely perusing the shelves.
I have begun to wonder, if there is something wrong. They don't speak, he doesn't play with other children, and his peripheral vision is non-existant in this headgear. In the beginning, perhaps it was a simple indulgence, but now I am beginning to wonder if it has taken on a Phantom of the Opera quality. What are they masking?
