Utah passes 'free-range parenting' law

Bravo Utah, I wander if this spreads across Southern States soon?
In my opinion this is very much a common sense law, and it's sad that we live in a society that has to define this stuff. I am glad it's happening though, we have become way to hyper critical of other people's parenting over the last 10 years thanks to social media / 24-7 media coverage.

A new law legalizing free-range parenting will soon take effect in Utah allowing children to do things alone like travelling to school.

“Kids need to wonder about the world, explore and play in it, and by doing so learn the skills of self-reliance and problem-solving they’ll need as adults," Sen. Lincoln Fillmore, a sponsor of the bill, said in a statement to ABC News. "As a society, we’ve become too hyper about ‘protecting’ kids and then end up sheltering them from the experiences that we took for granted as we were kids. I sponsored SB65 so that parents wouldn’t be punished for letting their kids experience childhood.”

The pedophiles must be excited.

I heard about this on the radio the other day. Good for Utah. It's nice to see common sense prevailing in some parts of the country.

Every kid should visit a trap house, unsupervised, at least once

It's weird that this has to be a law.

I know I’m about to get 10 replies from folks talking shite about Mormons but Utah honestly might be the best state in the country to raise a kid in.

I don't understand what the law actually does. If you want to let your child walk alone to school now you can. The law surely isn't going to mandate that you are required to do that...so what exactly does this accomplish?

I like to envision kids on bikes in the neighborhood back in the 80s/90s. Then I remember, kids don't do that today.

Mormonism is a cult.

I'm confused.
Was this ever illegal in the first place?
I mean are there laws on the books that literally say you aren't allowed to let your kids walk to school by themselves?
How can you make something "legal" that was never illegal in the first place?

As a parent of 11, 8, 4, and 3 year old kids, I think this is awesome! Parents shouldn't have to worry about some overzealous idiot getting them in trouble over their kids being outside playing.

I remember when we didn't need stupid fricking laws

A homeschooled kid would know the difference between wander and wonder.

Are kids not allowed to ride their bikes to school anymore?
