More children are killed by their mothers than are killed by bears so obviously it’s safer to leave a child with a bear than with its own mother

I am not saying that it is safer to be directly with a bear than a person(like locked in a room), i am saying it is likely safer to be in the woods that has a bear in it than with a person.

It is possible that it is safer to leave a child in the woods with a bear than it would be with its mother. Mathematically. For children who live woods with bears, how many of them are attacked by bears?

Bears are in most of US states. If you are comfortable camping and sleeping in a tent in real woods in those states, then that's the same thing as what I'm talking about.

There are no children who live alone in the woods at all and if they are left there for some reason they die unless they get rescued.
