[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What earthly sense would it make to allow children under 8 to be out on the street alone walking for a mile but not alone in their own home? Again, if you don't agree that this should be the case, you can ask Maryland to change it.[/quote] Most accidents happen at home! Burns, falling down the stairs, choking, slipping, getting food from the microwave and scalding yourself, toppling furniture; playing with an unsecured weapon..... And parents THINK kids are safe at home so they are tempted to leave kids at home for much longer than is good for kids. Walking one mile home, when parents know where you are and when you are expected home, and you have a cell phone, does not seem nearly as dangerous to me, as leaving a child home for 4 hours alone.
