Mom Allowed Child to Walk 1/3 Mile is Threatened with Child Endangerment

We have a war going on between the level headed intelligent people and the TV addled morons who are quaking in their boots and demanding protection from everything. Intelligence will win in the end, it has to, (the Soviet Union fell after 70 years of Hell) but right now it is hard to imagine how we will overcome or how long this crap will continue to grow.

“My 10-year-old son wanted the chance to walk from our house to soccer practice behind an elementary school about 1/3 mile from our house. He had walked in our neighborhood a number of times with the family and we have driven the route to practice who knows how many times. It was broad daylight - 5:00 pm. I had to be at the field myself 15 minutes after practice started, so I gave him my cell phone and told him I would be there to check that he made it and sent him off. He got 3 blocks and a police car intercepted him. The police came to my house — after I had left — and spoke with my younger children (who were home with Grandma). They then found me at the soccer field and proceeded to tell me how I could be charged with child endangerment. They said they had gotten “hundreds” of calls to 911 about him walking.”
