“Didn’t think I was doing anything wrong:” Mom arrested for allowing 7-year-old son to go to park alone

Letting the kid go to the park alone seems rather reasonable.

Her arrest is unfounded.

We are raising a generation of useless children, I am definitely with the Mom on this one.

We live in the safest time in all of history, this state of fear that people live in is crazy.

No doubt this has to do with feminists painting our cites as rape prisons for women. Let your children play outside? WHAT IF THE MEN GET YOU? Wow, so rape.

Second point, they'll take this kid away from a loving home to be with a foster family where abuse is rampant. Good one. That kid could go to the park every day for a year alone and still not face the kind of risk from the foster care system.

Anyone that thinks this is helping the kid needs to give their head a shake.

It might be the mom in this case but it is still an issue that could affect a father. Do we really need to wait for this to happen to a father to be outraged?

This is one of those slippery slope things people have been warning about for years. The government is turning everyone into a criminal by making nearly everything illegal. A big part of the problem are overzealous prosecuters, cops with little to no accountability, and vague laws often with harsh minimum sentences.

50 years ago, nobody would have given a shit.

There is not an abducting, raping, murdering pedophile lurking beside every playground.

There isn't one lurking beside every tenth playground, or even every hundredth. 'Stranger Danger' incidents are the rarest incidents of all.

You might as well be arresting parents for putting kids into cars.

Im confused my parents used to drop me off at the park for a lil bit when i was old enough to understand the world. 8+ i could play basketball, and skate around. Shiit man kids are taking the trains in NYC ALONE at this age. What the fuck is this.

she didn't as far as I can tell

jammiesoff · 2014-07-30T21:07:04+00:00

I used to do that all the time as a kid. Who fucking called the cops? An honest question, how old does your kid have to be before you let them go the park by themselves? Is it 8 or 18?

I have to say, I don't really think she did anything wrong, either.

Why are the police allowing numerous sex offenders to reside at a playground?
