If my parents raised me today they would be in prison. From the age of about 5 boys played unsupervised. Today the government is using taxpayer funds to criminalize these parents.

We used to put aerosol cans in fires and shoot them with rifles to watch them explode.

We hiked in the forests carrying rifles.

I daresay many neighborhoods are a lot less safe than they were when we were kids.

As for this ...

” found responsible of unsubstantiated child neglect”

... how can you be found responsible for something unsubstantiated?

[SpinnerWebb]

boy howdy, me too.

I have been known to hop a Rock Island freight car, ride it a few miles out, then hop out where they slowed and walk back down the rails... putting pennies on the track on the way back to pick up next time.

I think we’re alone now, doesn’t seem to be anyone around!
I think we’re alone now, the beating of our hearts is the only sound!!

At least they are not giving their kids a Big Gulp.

These nosy neighbors who habitually interfere with good parenting need to mind their own business. “It Takes a Village” was a political tome supporting communism, not a statement of fact.

To a large extent this is about concocting false issues about white people. You know there are too many minorities under DCF scrutiny, we must have (and makeup stuff) to balance that with white folks.

Yet when illegal alien kids cross the border the left calls them “Brave” and gives them amnesty

today it is not safe for a 6 yr old and a 10 year old to be unsupervised in a park, on their own, a mile or more from home- especially in this large suburban area and especially with years of the govt dumping sex offenders and molesters out of prison and back onto the streets!

If I saw those kids I'd be watching them and afraid to leave them alone even if I didn't know them

There is something “unnatural” about the “parenting” style professed by these geek parents. Maybe the authorities are being overprotective ( I don't think so, people who see these little kids roaming a mile or more from home know in their gut this isn't safe) but it is safer for the kids if they err on the side of caution

[WKUHilltopper]

And this is a law? Or is this one just made up because they say so?

Children are assets of the state.

[Flick Lives]

were found responsible of unsubstantiated child neglect ...

Found guilty of ... nothing, but guilty none the less according to the State.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I don’t believe that they are referring to them as “free range kids”. Yikes!

[QT3.14]

Pj media: A nation of wusses....raise children never to risk any psychic or physical damage. They are bubble wrapped, physically and mentally.

[Texan5]

Nearly all of our parents would be in prison if we were kids today-this whole concept of “protecting” is flawed-those kids were not even a mile from home...

We wandered everywhere in Summer and after school-we even had an old canoe to go up and down the creek in...

I grew up in the country, but there was a park within walking/biking distance, on the far outskirts of town. If we saw anyone we thought was weird, we knew enough to run for home-and we didn’t go to that park on weekends when the local teens hid out under the trees and bushes there to drink, smoke and whatever...

Meanwhile back at the White House members of the terrorist group known as the Muslim Brotherhood parade supporters in and out seeing what advantage the sympathetic administration can give them in their quest to over-throw the American way of life.

I can remember buying small amounts of sulfur and salt peter from the local drug store as a kid, grinding charcoal on a rock, and mixing to make black powder.

I was about 10, it was a one mile walk to town. This was around 1965.

It never went boom, but it sure did burn! It was not until years later that I learned it needed to be in a pipe or something.

Good thing my parents have passed on, holder may have had them arrested today!
