Kids throughout the country have been walking to school if they live within a mile for years with few problems
The mother doesn't know how the school got the wrong address? Perhaps she had a part in it.
Schools provide crossing guards at major intersections. I would really like to take a look at how major the intersection really is.
again, you totally miss the point. the point is this school screwed up and altered this child's routine without the parent's knowledge. that is unacceptable.
Yes, even if you think a child should not walk home unchaperoned, when so-called conservatives get this bent out of shape over a mistake that resulted in no harm, and see no problem with a mother so overprotective that she calls in a TV news crew over it, you see why government keeps expanding.
If this is what "Small Government Conservatives" do the minute "the children" need something, no wonder "our" side keeps losing.
"What's the need for him to walk? Why wasn't I informed? If he if missed his bus or whatever, you know that was my point. Nobody contacted me or they didn't contact emergency contact," Westbrook said.
How you get from this to the insinuation that the mother is part of a wrong address scheme is beyond me this early in the morning.
Not five year olds by themselves, at least not by self respecting parents who love them
