        I'm not sure how these laws apply since I spent countless hours unsupervised as a kid, as do many kids today! Is there selective enforcement

        Sad truth of modern parenting. It's cost us $7000 out of our RRSP for legal bills to defend our parenting..so far.

        Has anyone asked why school districts aren't providing busing or crossing guards if the Province is really concerned about kids' safety?
