Call for help, presumably. What do you think? [/quote]

So the kid has a phone? I didn't give my child a phone until middle school. Another poor parenting choice.[/quote]

"Help, please!"<---calling for help[/quote]

So, in the view of these parents, and in your view, the other parents are to be the safety net for their "free range" kids if something bad happens, but if anyone dare expresses concern that something bad MIGHT happen, they are to be scorned for interfering with a radical and anti-social lifestyle choice?

Spare me.[/quote]

This one time, when I was in college, I stepped off the curb and twisted my ankle. I couldn't move. Somebody stopped and offered to help. By your thinking, it was unreasonable of me to expect other people to be the safety net for my out on my own if something happens. Perhaps it was even a radical and anti-social lifestyle choice for me to walk around the streets by  myself, knowing that something bad might happen?[/quote]
