Another reason to elect a constitutional, pro-2nd amendment sheriff in your county. This sheriff will educate gestapo cops and perverts in child “protection” services not to harass citizens going about their lawful activities.

At age 4 my middle son hopped the 6 ft back fence to access Mira Mesa Blvd around 5 PM (bumper to bumper traffic). He walked 1 mile east, crossed Mira Mesa Blvd and presented himself at Red Lobster with a desire to order a meal. Fortunately, the staff asked his phone number which he confidently recited. My wife was out the door and at Red Lobster as fast as traffic would allow. This occurred on the evening of our wedding anniversary. Suffice to say we were upset at his escape over the back fence. This occurred in June 1987.

The independent son graduated with a 4.33 GPA and served in Iraq/Kuwait with the USMC. All without the help of statist nannies and Karens reporting his every move to the police and CPS.

When I was about seven years old my father sent me to a local tavern with a one gallon type insulated drink jug ( with a spigot) and the waiting bartender filled it with draft beer.
My dad and next door neighbor sat out on our front porch and sipped beer and appeared to watch my brothers and some neighbor kids goof around on our front lawn

Let’s throw some guns in
the mix.
At twelve, in Jr high
my dad let me and my
brother join the gun
club sponsored by our
school. Mondays and
Thursdays saw us
sporting 20ga shotguns
on the bus (during dove
season), regular times
were .22’s. We’d do some
bird hunting on the walk
home from the bus stop.
We’d clean ‘em and present
to mom for dinner. Dipped
in cornmeal fried with
taters.
Good times back then, and
my, how they have changed.
We followed the rules of
no loaded weapons allowed
on the bus, and our pockets
we’re stuffed with the
shells.

I walked to the convenience store (for comic books and candy) and, if I could find someone to play with, played outside until the sun started going down or the other children went home, since I was an only child. But that was in the 1960s, in a town full of military and retired people. This little boy is in a suburb of Atlanta and is an easy size to snatch. Perhaps the police have gotten too many calls from frantic parents with missing children. I think these parents are idiots for not requiring their children to only go somewhere if someone will go with them.

I’ve also read plenty of old cases about children being kidnapped, abused, murdered or disappearing altogether from all the years people thought children were safe. You’re blessed you didn’t run into any of these monsters, as was I. I’m now seeing videos of children being grabbed from right next to their parents. If that doesn’t impress parents enough to take precautions, then they’re not facing reality and may pay a painfully high price some day.

So ILLEGAL Immigrants can get free food, lodging, and money from Tax Payers, but Heaven forbid a kid getting a free cookie.

Apparently, a 7 year-old can’t be away from their parents except to ride a school bus without a seat belt.
