Lock her up?

10-year-old walks alone a mile away from Georgia home, leading to his mother's arrest.​

A Georgia mother was arrested and accused of allegedly endangering her son — all because the unsupervised 10-year-old walked less than a mile away from home, officials said.

My mom would have gotten the death penalty for some of the places I went or some of the things I did if this is a lock upable offense. Our walk to school was longer.

We are raising a bunch of pussies in this country! Kids don’t need parental permission for sex change but can’t walk a mile from home without hand holding. This crap pisses me off!

GenX here and our moms never knew where we were. In the summer we hit the door after breakfast and they didn't see us again until the streetlights went on. If it was under a mile we didn't even get bus service, we walked to school. Somehow we survived.
