[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big difference between playing in your yard and playing a mile away.[/quote] So how far is too far? My yard is ok. How about the neighbor's yard? Is that ok? How about the neighbor's neighbor's yard? How about the yard at the other end of the street? How about the yard two blocks away? How about...? If I don't want CPS to accuse me of neglect, how close a watch must I keep on my child?[/quote] No one will call the cops if kids are playing in a front yard...whether it's your yard or the neighbor down the street...because common sense dictates that a grown up is in the house or within earshot. The same is not true when kids are a mile away from home in a non-residential area (in this case, in front of a parking garage). A reasonable person did not see any adults around, and there weren't any houses nearby...just a busy street. [/quote]
