IMO, 7 is too young in this day and age to be alone. Age 9 or 10 perhaps, or with a group of kids containing those ages maybe. But 7 year old is too small to be seen by cars, and a perfect target for pedos. |

If you check online, you'll see that your neighborhood is infested with men who are registered sex offenders. They are everywhere. You can check their crimes... absolutely disgusting shit. Shit they should have been removed from the planet for. Yet their right there, walking the same streets as our kids. Now, who bears the risk? The kid and the parent. No body else, so it is not a matter for the police. Who knows, maybe the mom was trying to get rid of the kid? |

There is no way id let a 7 year old go out in public alone. Hell I don't even let my 14 year old daughter go out in public alone. There are too many weirdos nowadays. |

The gays could snatch up the kid. 7 is too young especially in an urban area. There is a huge difference in cognizance between a 7 and 9 year old. Huge difference. But 7 is too young for a half mile away. Unless you live in a remote area where neighbors know your kid and shit. |

I rode miles and miles away on my bicycle, walked miles and miles through creeks and woods, and managed to get a good taste of the little world at that time.. |

I think the biggest question is whether arresting the mom is in the higher good. Also, are families allowed to assume the risk or does the police have that decision. As sad as it is, most molestors are friends and family. Actual and horrific strangers taking the kids does happen and they are so horrible that we all hear about them.....but, it does not happen nearly as often as you assume. Of course even one child abduction is among the most horrifying of crimes, but then the question comes ......how much do we live our lives around a possibility and does that way of living create dangers of its own by creating damage emotionally. I don't have answers....I am just saying some communities, some neightborhoods and some kids have various circumstances and environments. In some places and with certain precautions, it might be just fine....not so in others. The kid was close to home and did have a phone.....just saying.... violet |

I rode my bike home from school every day almost 4 miles at that age. I went anywhere I wanted as long as I could peddle there and back. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60473833 Irrelevant. That was then. This is now. Yes.....times have changed.....I was 7 in 1931-32.....and by then I could already shoot my .22 as well as anyone. I like most boys at that age ran around all day with our .22s slung over our shoulders.......cops would gun us down these days!!! Last Edited by The Old Timer on 07/31/2014 05:52 AM Lets go Brandon!!
