That was standard operating procedure when I was a kid. No law should be needed for a return to normalcy.
I agree with you and support parents having this freedom.
The only difference is that when I was young and there was a mile or two to walk to school, there were a lot of other kids and pedestrians around.
Now, homeless and not much else.
Perhaps this is not the case in conservative UTAH.
Absolutely agree. Since I was a kid roaming around like all the other kids, the world has descended into madness. My parents had no fear or concerns, so long as I headed home when my mom stood out on the porch and rang the dinner bell. What a different world that was!
