This summer, consider letting your kids walk to the neighborhood park without you. Or give them money to buy an ice cream cone without your supervision. Encourage them to invite a friend. Let them have some physical freedom, and the memories that come with it.

And experience getting CPS called on you for child neglience. Heck, parents have been dragged into court because their school kid died in a traffic accident. The US is quite insane when it comes to deal with kids.

Well, kids are mostly property here.

Walking somewhere is a very different experience in a car dependent suburb vs an area with dedicated walking paths.

I agree with the community name for this case.
