You can be investigated for neglect if you let your kids walk alone.

It happened in Maryland.

That's (unfortunately) true, but I'm not sure what you're getting at? My comment was about how parents should bike their kids to school (or walk with them) instead of driving them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

It doesn't really, but I'm sure there are parents who are driving to work anyway, and walking or biking the kids would take even more time than the

So I figured they'd just let the kids walk on their own because it's only a mile and it would save the parents some time. (Plus they don't have to go out in bad weather.) But then I remembered that even that isn't allowed anymore.

Then again, I'm old enough to have been a pedestrian latchkey kid and I'm pretty sure if I did that to my kids at the same age they'd be in the foster system.
