I have to admit that five miles is a bit far for a 10-year-old to walk... at least unsupervised. If dad is willing to walk with her (which he should) then this is appropriate.
The punishment is no punishment if the parents have to drive them to school...
We did a five-mile hike in drizzly weather with Cub Scouts (age 10 and under) on Sunday morning, including a Cub’s 3-year-old sister.
If the father was with her and they had appropriate clothing, this is quite reasonable.
Dad was there the whole time.
Video on ABC shows the father following her in his car.
AND-—36 degrees in winter IS NOT FREEZING...
Another example of no education anymore.
This is in Ohio. Believe me, there are far more harsh days than 36 degrees in Ohio in the winter.
“The punishment is no punishment if the parents have to drive them to school”
Flashback for me, different offense, but my 16 year-old once stayed out waaay past his curfew at my house so I took his (my) car away from him for a week. He goes over to my ex’s house and tells her about it and her response is, “that’s ok you can use our car for the week.”
Like beating my head against the wall.
