[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sad to live in a county that does not allow kids to walk to and from a park without getting paranoid people calling 911 and getting pulled over by police.  My siblings and I definitely were this age on our own playing outside daily.  And not right in our front yard.  As soon as the training wheels were off, we were free to ride to friends homes, the park, the baseball field, and the convenience store.  The last 3 were at least a half mile away and the store was crossing a busy 2 lane road.  We didn't have cell phones, we had watches and were told what time to be home.  Made a lot of friends and had a lot of fun.  Great childhood.   Kids these days are so coddled and structured it is scary.  And the fact that so many of you think that walking a mile back home from a park is abuse is even scarier.  [/quote]

No one said it constitutes abuse, stop making stuff up. And if you really think the kids will grow up damaged and coddled because they weren't allowed to walk a mile from home alone before they were eight, well then I'm afraid you have a lot of concerns.[/quote]
