[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kids weren't doing anything wrong, the police should have checked in with them and let them be on their way. Since what they were doing was not illegal.  [/quote]

They weren't being supervised.  A 6 year old is not ok in that situation.  If there were two 10 year olds it would have been a bit different.[/quote]

Six-year-olds used to be ok in that situation. Six-year-olds in other countries still are ok in that situation. Why are modern American six-year-olds different?[/quote]

Are they really?  There is no way my six year old would be ok in this situation.  Does he know how to get to the park and home, yes.  He can do several (as well as many other places) but just because he can doesn't mean it is ok.

We aren't talking about other countries.  You cannot even compare given cultures are so different. [/quote]

Why are other countries irrelevant? Six-year-olds are six-year-olds. Other countries have roads, and cars, and parks, and playgrounds, and strangers, and urban areas, and parking garages, and all of the other dangers to children.[/quote]
and different politics
governments
different gun laws
different policing strategies
different crime stats
different city layouts
different maternity leaves 
lots o' shit is different elsewhere[/quote]

How about all the other states in America that do not have these laws?[/quote]
1) I responding to the point about other countries being irrelavant

2) I don't care about the law - does not bother me to have it, would not bother me not to have it

3) I am not a paranoid freak who needs to find some random regulation to become my mountain to die on[/quote]
