Ah, yes, the blizzard of ‘66. I presume the house was unlocked when you got home...

She found work at a cookie store instead.

This is outrageous. Who are the principal end consumers of cookies - children and here she is charged with endangering children.

Growing up I used to walk more than a mile to school and home every day. But those were different days when cops protected kids and other law abiding citizens and kept a lid on those who were a threat to civilization.

Not what I’m told but I don’t know. I’m playing advocate.

I can see a temper tantrum mother teaching her child how to abusively handle one’s anger abusing a child making him madder

I can certainly picture an abusive cop. Handcuffing a man in front of a child is worse than what she did, but I can picture her being abusive and disrespectful to the cop

If the kid is having a tantrum the best way to handle it is get them home and into their room then stand by. They’ll burn themselves out while you’re figuring out what you could have done better then do it

A kid that’s allowed to have a tantrum with no response will not do it again.

Studied. Proven

If they do it again go to an MD and find out what’s wrong

Normally, Often it’s a mixture of hunger, fatigue trigger in an eight year old coming home from school and activities

Cops. Keep them OUT of it

This story needs a Chris Rock how not to get your ass handcuffed by the cops

I still suspect a parent who kicks her angry 8 year old out of the car has anger issues herself.

Heck, my mom used to walk 5 miles to school each way in bare feet in 2 feet of snow in 100 degree weather, uphill both ways, starting in first grade.

But in her pretrial essay, which required her to admit guilt and remorse, Wallace thanked the officers for teaching her how wrong she was to have her son walk half a mile on a warm day in his own neighborhood. From now on, Wallace wrote, "I will continue to grow more as a parent and a person."

I was elated beyond measure when I finally got one and learned to ride it. Then I didnt have to walk a mile to school and another one back home!

Sheer Bliss!

Also, car rides were rarely offered, even in pouring rain because you have a raincoat and rubbers son, hoof it!

This was life growing up in the 60s, but the freedom we enjoyed as kids in East Dallas was due to a different society. A Better one for certain.

I remember as a young boy in late 50s DC my dad got stationed at Bolling AFB and we lived in Congress Heights. Downtown with my mom one day I was being a real brat and she said, “Okay, you can make your own way home.” and she went to get the car. I was alone there for about 15 minutes and did some soul searching when she pulled up with the car after driving around the block and I got in and shut up.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

The Aamerican people now understand that the First Amendment calls for them to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

“half a mile.” Wow. When I was 12 years old my friends and I skateboarded two miles away and back, barefooted.
