[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think that the 6 and 10 year old in question could have walked to/from a neighborhood suburban park on neighborhood sidewalks without raising too many eyebrows. Even those who noticed would probably have kept their noses out of it. But these kids were allowed to walk across town to get to/from this park and they crossed busy streets in the process - I think that is where the parents in this situation "jumped the shark". It is not something that most reasonable parents would have allowed their kids to do and now they can deal with CPS, courts, etc. [/quote] It was a 1-mile walk, involving Georgia Avenue, on a Saturday (lower traffic than weekdays). They had practiced the walk before with their parents, and had done shorter walks on their own successfully. This hardly seems like bad parenting to me.[/quote]
