I wrote about the Adam Walsh case a while back and wondered if that awful case was what pushed society down the ‘ole “slippery slope” to our present “protection at all costs” attitude towards our children. In response I found the Free Range Kids site. They explain their attitude as follows:
We do NOT believe that every time school age children go outside, they need a security detail. Most of us grew up Free Range and lived to tell the tale. Our kids deserve no less. This site dedicated to sane parenting.
Yep, I was raised free range. Rode in the back of pickup trucks, didn’t wear a bike helmet, the whole deal. While I try to treat my kids they same, I don’t have the total peace of mind the free rangers have. Hats off to them. Check ‘em out here.
