You'd be surprised at what's toxic in your yard to kids, dogs, cats and anything else for that matter. No dogs I know have ever died because there is a cycas revoluta in the yard, even though they kill dogs. Just because you know it's toxic does not mean some kid is gonna walk up to your Brugmansia and start eating the flowers.

If they do, by all means, let 'em. But 98% of the population has no idea about any of this stuff. If they did they'd never go outside. It's the same with the temperature you hear on the news. If they told you how hot it actually is outside no one would ever go out.
