Child Services Tells Mother Her Kids Can't Play Outside by Themselves | Jon Miltimore

Jeez, on the farm my brothers and I would take off at breakfast when we were at ages 4 through 11 (at 12 we helped work the farm) and wade in the creek pasture, drop rocks off the railway trestle, chase little pigs, climb trees, hunt for blackberries in the grove, etc., until we heard her calling for dinner (the noon meal on a farm). She had no idea where we were for hours at a time.

Lt Col Charlie Brown My brother and me were playing outside from the age of three. Kids need to be outdoors having fun, exploring and doing things. Better than sitting in front of a screen playing video games. Talk about controlling!

This is definitely government overreach! Thankfully my grandson and granddaughter can play outside without someone watching them. They have to let the parents know where they are,
My grandson and his friends like to play in the woods behind his house and mess about in the creek.
It’s a danged site better than having starring at his Nintendo switch or watching tv all day.
