We let our kids <9 walk to the corner store and park by themselves. Usually, I follow along at a great distance. About 1/3 of the time some woman (95 percent of the time) will stop and demand to know where they are going and where their parents are. I've told them to just say, "We're fine, but thanks for asking." But then some number of them will park their car and get more involve and then chastise me for letting them walk alone.

I usually control my temper and cite my state's free range statute, but then they always argue with that and say things like, "I don't agree with that law."

It's crazy that we've managed to make children being outside an abnormality. When I was a kid I left the house from sunup to dusk and got up to all kinds of shenanigans and no adults cared.

You’re the parenting version of those guys who openly carry AR-15s downtown in front of government buildings.

You are not only throwing their consensus worldview into disarray but are also questioning the value of their work

I love when I get to cite the statute. I get overly solicitous and offer to send it to them and read it to them.

It’s state law (cities would do the opposite) that basically says kids can walk to school by themselves if they can handle it.

It “works” if it makes them lose their shit even more, because it adds to the entertainment value of the encounter and there’s nothing the Nosy Nellies can do about it.

Make your children wear hi-vis vests when they go out on their own and call the police every time a busybody detains your children. Eventually people in the neighborhood will accept that the kids in fluorescent vests are just allowed to walk around unsupervised.

You live in the wrong neighborhood. Its not just laws, it's about culture. That would never happen where we live. I see really small kids out biking in grouPs, walking their dOgs, etc.
