State lawmakers are mulling a law that would establish commonsense protections for families that give their children a reasonable amount of independence.
I think the balance is instead of being a fucking busybody calling the cops, just keep an eye on them and make sure they’re okay and not causing trouble. If they’re good it’s all good and they gain valuable life experience being independent. If not then there’s an adult on hand to assist. Kids can’t learn to handle themselves if there’s always an adult hanging over their shoulder to step in over every little thing.
