How Dangerous Are Power Cords?

How dangerous are the adaptor cords you plug in for things like a Nintendo DS, Computer, etc. that you leave plugged into the wall and don't have the unit plugged into it?
These seems dangerous to me, but it seems to be the norm around our house. How powerful are these?

My granddaughter is two and puts everything she can get her hands on in her mouth. Ya think this is why some of her hair is curly and some of it is straight? *S* It appears logical to me that if I put my tongue on the open end of this electrical cord I would get some kind of jolt. I'm a little nuts, but I'm not going to do this on purpose.

When my daughter was about two or three she brought me a screwdriver and told me that it bit her. I looked at it and there was a corner missing off the bottom part of the screwdriver that was now black. I asked her to show me where she was when it bit her and she took me to an electrical outlet. How scary is that?

Actually this wasn't quite as scary as when my son was two and plugged a soldering iron into the outlet then stuck it in his mouth. It hadn't had time to get extremly hot, but of course he screamed. All I could think of were his eyes. It could have been his eyes.
