re: Mom handcuffed, jailed for making 8-year-old son walk half a mile home

A woman one block away had called the cops to report a boy walking outside alone. That lady had actually asked Aiden where he lived, verified that it was just down the street, and proceeded to call nonetheless. The cops picked up Aiden on his own block.

OH MY…. An 8 year old boy walking in the neighborhood, all by himself. What has happened to society when 8 year old boys walk in neighborhoods by themselves?

Child services had the family agree to a safety plan, which meant Wallace and her husband could not be alone with their kids for even a second. Their mothers—the children's grandmothers—had to visit and trade off overnight stays in order to guarantee the parents were constantly supervised. After two weeks, child services closed Wallace's case, finding the complaint was unfounded.

AHHHHH, your government knows how to raise your children better than you do. Here it is folks. Soak all that big government up. It knows what’s best for you and your kids.

Her diversion program required 65 hours of community service, which Wallace completed at an early childhood center. The program mandated that she only work there during the weekends, when there were no kids around for her to endanger. She helped develop the center's curriculum and also did some cleaning.

Because she dared to (READY FOR THIS?). Discipline her child to walk a freaking half mile home to cool off and get his mind right. That’s basically 2 walks around the block or so, kind of like walking home from the neighborhood elementary school. We did it every day when I was that age. It’s how we got home.





I VOMIT on this world.

Cops are heroes.

At 8 yrs old, I could be a county away on my bike, looking at Playboys in the woods. Just be home at dark.

I used to have to walk 6 miles to school when I was in middle school. Not every day but my dad told my mom that if dropping me off was going to make her late for work then to have me walk. I was not allowed to take a ride from anybody that stopped. ANYBODY.

My Grandfather (my dad's dad) tried to pick me up one day and I refused to get in the truck with him because I knew I would catch an asswhooping!

so if i was 8 or 9 and walked my little shite dog down the street and back my parents could get arrested?
