[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WaPo has a new article about MoCo and children walking unaccompanied.  They also have a copy of a letter written by Montgomery County Council President George Leventhal (D-At Large) and County Council member Marc Elrich (D-At Large) to to county police and human-services officials, asking for clarification of police and CPS procedures, responses to 9/11 calls, etc.

Thanks for posting this. The 16 questions do not seem to hit on basics that mothers in my neighborhood have discussed: At what age may children play outside without a parent or guardian? At what age can a younger child walk to a park with an older one? [/quote]

Just use your brain.  A 10 year old, a small park, a quiet neighborhood, a block away, on a non-busy street, ok.  A 6 year old, an urban setting, a busy street - not ok.  No law is going to spell this out for you, and indeed, should not.  [/quote]
