That’s absolutely insane. At 8, my friends and I roamed 350 acres of dense woods, camped out, swam in the local creek, and did every form of farm work. Those cops are sissies.

Was one of the arresting Waco officers wearing red boots? /sarc

I should say that the preceding sarcastic question was a reference from back during Waco’s Twin Peaks shootout and all that followed.

Crickey, I walked or ride my bike to school every day in LA by the time I was 8. Mom never drove us unless there was a huge rain storm. As was normal at the time we were out playing all day every day as long as we were home by dark. By the time that I was 11, I was riding my bike 15 miles down the river trail to the beach.

A woman one block away had called the cops to report a boy walking outside alone.

Tar and Feathers will solve this problem.

OMG I walked a mile to school when I was 5. I even remember getting bullied a number of times passing a certain house. Somehow I survived.

“half a mile in quiet, suburban Waco, Texas”

Well, was Janet Reno around? Could have been hazardous.

LoL!

1962 National Emergency Drills - All Elementary Kids told to walk directly home and note the time of arrival.

My recall is 28 Min. for 1.5 miles.

We used to walk all over the place in suburban NY. Baby boomers owned the area, the pond skating in winter, the beach in summer, we walked into town or rode bikes. But it was a time before cultural acceptance of birth control when men were expected to control their urges and women maintained the same expectation

Now it has evolved into widespread sex abuse onto children from coaches, neighbors, priests, and far into expectations of predominance of pedophelia and sex trafficking. Pope Paul VI prophesied on it in Humanae Vitae like Orwell prophesied on the state of politics and culture.

You simply cannot have a kid walking home and obviously upset and vulnerable to rash decisions

One scenario-
This kid was likely hungry, done with people in karate class teasing him, done with his brother always being better than him. The mother was done with him. She had her own temper tantrum kicking him out of the car She’s providing a role model of tantrum

The neighbor woman was done with the mother or she was really worried. Or a busy body

Every time I see a kid wandering I wan to see the parents nearby. Once I brought a diaper clad wandering kid to his house and was met with the nastiest woman I had ever seen in a home that was like a rats nest.

She wanted the kid to get taken obviously.

Who knows about this one but she has to halfway want the kid taken at a moment of her own temper tantrum. Maybe she was as abusive of the cops so they had to use force.

During the summer, Mom and Dad had me walk two miles to the pool, and then two miles back when I was done swimming - that’s just the way it was.

When I was 8 years old in1964 I was living in Guam as my father worked for an airline. We were there for 4 years. I remember playing in the boonies and told not to pick up anything strange as it might be ordinance left from the war. I walked a good mile to school. Road my bike everywhere. Times have changed.

She wanted her kid to be taken by walking a few blocks in a safe, suburban neighborhood?

I walked 2 miles to my elementary school. Had to deal with feral dogs, bullies and traffic across a busy road. Walked across a pipeline that crossed a ditch. 1968 time frame.

It was a different world.
