If the parents treat their kids lives and safety so carelessly, I guess they can move to Utah. It will be blood and guilt on their hands should something happen to their kids. Kids are not “free range” animals. If you have kids, be responsible for them.
But does being responsible mean you have to have them in sight 24/7, to be supervising everything they do 24/7? I think that’s what the so called free range thing is about, not about treating them like free range animals.
This law is to protect us GOOD Parents from Mother Government’s overreaching CLAWS.
Sadly, in this day it’s needed. Government is out of control.
“And just this week, a Missouri mom is facing charges for leaving her children in a car when she went into the gas station to pay for the gas because, according to that state’s law, it’s illegal to leave your child in a car unattended — even for the five minutes it takes to swipe your credit card at the cashier station.”
I probably could’ve been arrested for letting my boys camp all weekend (without us - Thank Gawd for the BREAK from them, LOL!) in our Back Forty back in the day.
Oh stop.
My child was allowed the same freedom I had. Also the same responsibilities
Since when do you give over to nosy busy bodies the authority to tell you how to parent
I was free range, and so were my cousins. We knew to recognize a threat, and let an adult know. We weren’t eating laundry detergent either.
Mom said “go out and play” and we did. Mom always said, “when the street-lights turn on, you better be back in the house.”
Good system of governance, back when children listened to their parents.
So carelessly as what?
I mean really....blood and guilt because one teaches their child to ride a bus? Or allows their child to play at the local park or even on the front lawn?
Those are the kinds of activities that have been reported to authorities.
“It will be blood and guilt on their hands should something happen to their kids. Kids are not “free range” animals.”
Blood and guilt? I hope that you’re kidding.
Helicopter parents create kids that need safe spaces in college.
Kids have to roam and explore-—and parents know when they are ready to do it.

I’d just like to point out that you do not seem to be representing Reno very well to the FR community.
A popular bumper sticker here states “We DO NOT CARE how they do it in California!”
Utah “gets it” better than you do, it seems.
Yo - snowflake...when I was a kid, we would walk or ride our bikes to a park about 2-1/2 miles from the house to ‘explore” by the river or use the public pool - kids learn a little about growing up by not having constant babysitters ....
If the parents treat their kids lives and safety so carelessly IN YOUR HUMBLE OPINION!
Once again you find yourself at odds with those who realize this truly is be a FREE republic.
