        I was walking 1.5 miles home from school alone at this age. Everyone did it in the 80s. Now we can't let a kid walk a dog? Ridiculous.

        Seriously? The 80's were 30+ years ago. Do you remember hearing about children being sold into sex trafficking 30+ years ago?

        The term was actually coined in the 1980s so it was definitely happening.

        There was no homeless crisis or opioid and meth addiction epidemic like there is today. There wasn't even Meth back then. No one did pills. It was crank and heroin. Back then, we HID our sh*t. No one walked around spoofing out of a glass pipe or slamming pills in broad daylight

        Incredible. I walked to school alone when I was 6, and this kid can’t walk her dog around the block at 8.

        Funny thing is that when people really need to open their mouth and do something when someone is in real danger, nothing happens!!! NOTHING!!! In the 80's and 90's this shit didn't happen!!!

        You can’t be serious. Walking the family dog is part of a child learning responsibility. The fact that child services even listened to this bs report says more about them than it does about anything else.

        You can’t live your life like that. God forbid anything bad ever happen to our children. But not letting our children out of that fictional protective bubble doesn’t help them grow until their full capabilities. Teach your kids responsibility and awareness.

        How silly.. I don't blame child welfare folks..of course they should investigate what is reported to them. The neighbor that reported it..talk about a busybody and an idiot.

        It’s saddens me how paranoid we have gotten. We ran around in a group of kids for Halloween and our grown-up was the 12-year-old. And nothing ever happened. Maybe it is because I am not a parent, but we need to let our kids roam free some and be kids.

        I think helicoptering over kids is why they don’t move out when they’re adults now.

        They don't move out because rent is crazy high.
