It's almost unbelievable that Freepers on this thread are still actually shocked at this kind of thing.

Don't you people realize that liberals dominate the entire justice system?

Oh, and I found out daughter doesn’t like to walk to school not because of a perceived “danger” but because it leaves less time to do her hair!

It was a form of punishment no longer supported by the community.

THAT is a very scary sentence. The judge rules against the dad not because he broke the law, but because he did something "no longer supported by the community"? What happened to law?

Despite saying he didn't think the punishment was morally wrong or criminal, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor.

I guess you can't blame the judge for the father's stupidity. No jury of adults with children would have convicted him of anything. That was probably the lightest sentence she could have given him for the crime he basically pled guilty to.

If he had a lawyer, the lawyer should be disbarred.

We (Security) used to get University students complaining that they could not get a car park - the northern end of the campus had a massive car park that was never full (less than a mile walk) - I had several young fit looking males and females whine at me “But that is so far” - My retort was “Just think of all the money you will save not having to pay for a gym membership”. I also told them I was more than twice their age and would have to walk that distance 10 -20 times a day. Look on their face was always precious like they had finally realized they were a spoilt whimp!

Walked to school 1.3 miles at 7-8 years of age. Didn’t use a school bus.

Walked 4 miles per day and seven days a week after school and on weekends delivering newspapers at 10 to 13 years of age.

Frequently rode a bicycle distances of 10 to 20 miles at 8 to 15 years of age.

Rode my horse on saddle and bareback along roads and cross country distances of 10 to 20 miles starting at 11 years of age. Carried a rifle in the scabbard and a pistol on some occasions while riding. Drove horsedrawn racing sulky and wagons a number of miles too.

This judge needs to be immediately impeached before any further harm can be caused.

I just checked the mileage on Google Maps between the house I grew up in and my elementary school. One mile exactly. I would routinely walk home from school beginning in the 3rd grade for sure, maybe the 2nd.

I would do the same thing. I would also follow along behind. One mile isn’t even 30 minutes of excercise. He should have told the judge that he was taking Michelle Obama’s concern for obestiy seriously and trying to kill two birds with one stone.

IE: Excercise and Mental Meditation regarding actions and consequences. Studies have shown that walking outdoors works as well as or better than anti-depressants.

He must have had a lousy lawyer.

What insanity. I walked to and from school as a child every day....sun,rain,ice, snow....it didn’t matter. That was our transportation mode.

What an idiot judge. I say good for the dad but I guess I am too old fashioned

For eight elementary school terms I walked a mile and three-quarters to school, and the same trek back home, five days weekly, not realizing I was being punished. And not an inch of it was on a paved path. Oh well!!??

“Let’s move!” BUT only those movements authorized by Michelle Obama shall be tolerated.

Not surprising it was a woman judge. What a sissified country we have become. It’s outrageous to convict someone for this. We should remove “land of the free and the home of the brave” from our national anthem, because it’s now a lie.

It was a little kid and it was a highway, the father is an idiot, the kid could have been killed

If it was a snarling teen, the story would have been different

The judge, Kathleen Watanabe, ruled that the punishment was “old-fashioned” and inappropriate. She said that it is dangerous for children to walk alongside the road due to potential pedophiles.

The same pedophiles that liberal judges set free to prey on society.

“It was a form of punishment no longer supported by the community”

So what law did he break?
