Just reading it, I am a bit confused. I was a free range kid starting in about 1st grade. We had boundaries, but let's be honest, little boys push the limits.
Now im in my mid 30s and have my third daughter on the way. I would never let my kids go play outside in the front yard unsupervised, just for the simple fact that I don't want them getting hit by a car, the oldest is 6, and understands things, but still, that just seems neglectful.
It could be because they are girls, and im more protective, but I also just generally gauge a Childs "readiness", and I don't know many 6 year olds that I would be comfortable going to explore my neighborhood without some form of supervision.
I also generally despise the use of CPS in this way, but from what I gather, this lady seems like a pain in the a*, and her neighbors clearly do not like her, for whatever reason it is. It doesn't mean they should get CPS involved, but it's honestly shocking that this lady would continue to live in a place like this, it's pretty unreal actually.
Not sure what to make of all of this, and it reads like a very one sided piece, would be interesting to hear all the other drama that led to all of this transpiring.
