Well…have been following a little story out of Maryland that has me shaking my head every time I think about it…in case you haven’t heard, there are some parents there that are trying to allow their children to be children and walk around their neighborhood by themselves….the latest incident happened when these parents let their kids, 10 and 6, walk by themselves to a park that is near their house….and that’s where the nightmare started…some idiot called 911 (for kids playing in a park?) and the cops came and took the kids away…and the normal crap started to happen…CPS got involved and the normal playing that I did when I was a kid became criminalized for these two…and the cops didn’t even call the parents for almost 3 hours…freaking them right out…and now the parents are in the system for allowing their kids to be kids. I have had enough of the normal activities that we all did as kids being criminalized…if this kind of nonsense would have happened when I was a kid…my parents would have been in jail for letting me play in my neighborhood and allowing me to cross the street by myself when I was 4. this crap has got to stop…parents need to be allowed to be parents…and kids need to be allowed to be kids and go outside by themselves to play…I let mine do that unsupervised and they all survived it…geez…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
