[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]

So the age should be 2?[/quote].

A parent should decide not the government. Remember kids 6yrs old were cooking, farming, cleaning, walking miles to school by themselves, and more.

Coddled 6yr olds can't ride a 2 wheeler bike, tie their own shoes, button their pants, wipe their own butt, pour their own drink, make themselves a sandwich, fold their own laundry, play out front of their house by themselves. The only thing that has changed is the parents. [/quote]

Possibly one of the dumbest quotes on DCUM. [/quote]
