[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Maybe that should be written into the law. As soon as a child can ride a bike without training wheels.  :roll:

Your sadness is lost on elitist children, you should be sad for children who go days without food not hours. [/quote]

Yes because I am sad about a rigid overprotective government telling me how to raise my kids, means I am not sad at all for the children who go days without food.  Nice well thought out retort!! [/quote]

[b]I am not sad that my kids may have to follow some rules that I don't agree with like waiting until 8 to walk to a park alone or adhering to curfews even though our neighborhood does not have hoards of kids stealing from 7-11 and threaten police officer's lives. I realize I live in a society that needs rules to protect kids and society and when these rules/guidelines/laws are looked at individually, may not make sense to me but when applied to a society is in the best interest of all kids not just my very privileged kids.
