[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bus stops are within a quick walk of their home and typically in residential areas. There are usually other kids and parents at the stop or nearby, and this happens at two specific times of the day (when foot traffic by other kids and parents is almost guaranteed). Do you think that's different than dumping your kids off at a quasi urban park late on a Sunday afternoon and having them walk by a garage that is a ghost town (on a Sunday)? I do.

Did you know that it's against mcps policy to let your kids play on the school playground unattended while you wait to pick up your kids? Why? Because accidents can happen so it's a safety issue. [/quote]

My HGC kid is dropped off at our home school, which is not a "quick walk" to our house - in fact, it is about a mile from our house.  He walks home on his own, a route that includes crossing a major thoroughfare without a crossing guard (but with a crosswalk).

Are you going to send CPS after me?[/quote]

Your 6 yo is in a HGC for kids... where is that?[/quote]

My 9yo, who is a year younger than the Meitiv boy, walks this route.

According to some PPs' interpretation of the law, that is illegal.[/quote]
