While I'm a big parental rights fan I actually tentatively am siding with the state on this one.
It's one thing to intentionally raise your child in a free-range way, I think that should be allowed to a certain degree. It's a completely different thing to neglect your child by driving away from your home after you can't find him at the house and you don't know where he is.
Lmao. Less than 1 mile? I walked twice that every day to school since I was 7
Yes but it's not like your parents had no idea where you were and took no action to find you. This is textbook neglect, not intentional parenting.
It is not. Why would you need to track your almost-teen 24/7? It wouldn't be child neglect even if the kid was 6. They're more than old enough to go on spontaneous exploring.
