[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe people think it is normal and okay to call 911 for 2 kids walking home.  I think that is the most upsetting part in all of this.  Our parents would all have been arrested.  Or at least all the parents in my neighborhood.  [/quote]

Remember, only for kids under 8.  Is your statement still true?[/quote]

Yes I was born in 1974 and walked home from the half day K bus stop (2 blocks away) with 2 other K kids everyday at 12:13pm.  I guess that is 3 guilty parents right there.  After lunch, we all went back outside to play and then walked up to the bus stop at 3pm to see all the other kids and beg them to eat a snack quick to come out and play with us.  Many of them were 6-8yrs old.  I guess more guilty parents.  [/quote]

I think it really depends.  If you're 2 blocks away and someone always has an eye on you, that's one thing.  I mean, I can watch my kids walk 2 blocks to the bus stop from my house.  But out of sight and no way of knowing if they got there?  Nope, not under 8.[/quote]

I walked a mile to school by myself, when I was 6. And a mile home. It used to be normal. It did. It really did.[/quote]
