Coworker In Possible Trouble B/C of Child's School
Posted on 8/20/19 at 7:43 am
Posted on 8/20/19 at 7:43 am
Coworker's kid went back to school yesterday. Kid is in 2nd grade and 7 years old. They live about 4 blocks away from the school in a fairly affluent area and he doesn't have to cross any major highways or streets.
Well my coworker let his kid ride his bike to school. Apparently no one noticed yesterday morning, but when he tried to leave after school and didn't get in the "pickup" line, the teacher asked him where he was going. He told her he rode his bike and the teacher went batshit. She got the principle, they called my coworkers wife and said they were considering calling CPS. They think it's neglect
What in the world has our society come to? Coworker said his wife brought kid today to save anymore embarassment for the kid, but they're considering letting him continue to ride in the future and daring anyone to question it.

He needs to call a lawyer asap. Even the mention of CPS can rekt his career.

You made up the “threaten to call CPS” part

Is it possible that the 7 year old didn’t have the presence of mind to explain how close he lived?

Teacher probably handled it wrong but I wouldn’t let me kid ride to school in today’s world.

This, kids are coddled to damn much today. I would get in trouble if I didn't walk or ride my bike to school.

Why? Our schools are all walkable/rideable.

If they called CPS, I would do everything I possibly could to ruin their lives.

A 2nd grader, 4 blocks, no major roads. I see no issue with riding a bike.

Let the teacher and principal know that the kid has parental permission to ride his bike to and from school.
Easy solution.

If the parents are cool with the kid riding his bike he should absolutely be able to but in today's day and age they gotta clear that with the school first.
That being said, no way I'm letting a 7 year old do this solo, regardless of where you live, too many creepy fricks out there.
I watched a documentary on this last night LINK
If a 14 year old was naive enough to get into a vehicle with a stranger I'd imagine a lot of 7 year olds would be as well

I’m thinking there is more to the story...
Posted on 8/20/19 at 7:51 am to SirSaintly
Weird that the school doesn't have a form parents fill out to inform the school how the kid will get home each day. But maybe if there's no bus service, it's assumed every kid is a car rider. My kids' schools have staggered dismissals based on how they get home. Bus riders dismiss first, car riders, second, and kids in the after school program are dismissed last.

The school just needs a note from the parents for liability purposes.

I guarantee the actual story is that the school just called because they were not informed

When I was 7 years old, I walked about 5 blocks to school and it was over a railroad track. Sometimes we even had to walk in the snow. True story. It was a small town and most other kids walked as well.

Your coworker is a dumbass for not calling the school ahead of time.
With that being said, frick teachers for being overprotective.
