Yes. They allowed their 6 year old to walk home from a park unsupervised and they got called out for breaking the supervision laws in their state (which they did in fact break because a 10 yr old can not supervise a 6 year old).  So I have limited sympathy for them.  I think these were the same folks who gave their kids those stupid "my kids are free range kids" cards to carry around- ugh.

They didn't break MD law, which was why the parents were never charged. The supervision law applies to when they are inside, not outside and not when walking outside.

Also children this same age are allowed according to MCPS to walk to school on their own.

Well then I guess they are legally allowed to let their 3 year old to walk alone to preschool too...[/quote]

Huh?[/quote]

Suppose this was a 3 year old and a 6 year old walking home alone from that park.  Is there a law on the books saying that is illegal?  Serious question..[/quote]
