It is so true that you cannot do what was back in the 70's, 80's or even 90's-it's just not safe. I know there is a woman in Georgia, USA, who has been arrested because her son left and walked to school on his own. The child was 10-11 years old. I find it incredible that she's been arrested for this! They say that she was negligent of her child. Also, keep in mind this was not in a city, but in a rural country setting!
IF she'd been in the city; well, it would not be safe for him for sure.
Whether the danger is from citizens or like in this case, the authorities, it just isn't what it used to be.
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
Wow 😦 this is serious whereas over here my dad would say kids of 4-5 years then go to school on their own
It bothers me because it's very unlikely that much of anything would happen to him in a rural setting like that. I think back to when I was that age, and we were always going places, just us kids without adult supervision. I think it comes down to the so called 'experts' sticking their noses in where it doesn't really belong and trying to control people. I am hoping the mom figures out a legal strategy out of this.
Take care!
