qft.Originally posted by rufus t.

But now? Oh, boo-hoo, mommy suggested you walk the last three miles to your house, traversing one upscale suburb in order to get to another! Call child welfare! Get a lawyer! Jesus, when did we become such a nation of fvcking pvssies?
MomWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I have a hard time when parents say they cant handle an 8-12 year old, I mean, a little tough love way before now is certainly in order..
They are the adult, dont be their friend, be their parent.

Being dropped off in a good shopping district, 2 1/2 miles from the upper class home? That's not tramatic; it's an inconvenience. Kids thought mom was bluffing and called her on it. They misjudged her. They were in no more danger than if they had ridden their bikes over to the shopping area.

So you maintain that no kidnappings happen in a good shopping district?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Shouldn't a 10-year-old and 12-year-old be able to fend for themselves mostly?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

12 isn't iffy at all, in my book.
I rode my bike all the time alone when I was 10. Maybe in a suburban environment it's a bigger issue, but... well... probably not.

DAN! Those days are over. I used to hitch rides, too. No more. I slept with my front door open, to catch a nice breeze. No more.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
