I DID, however, drop them in a residential area and drive at a snail's pace just in front of them. And it was about 1/4 mile. I agree with the principle, but I still couldn't let them out of my sight. (Maybe I should've, then I wouldn't have had to do it twice??

We just finished up at the library and were about to cross the road. I went to hold her hand and she informed me that she was going to call social services on me (an agency she had unfortunately come to know too well). I got down on her level and pointed down the road and said "you live a mile down this road, walk home". Got in my car and drove off (really just around the block so she couldn't see me.) By the time I got back, she hopped in my car and never pulled a stunt like that again!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095096222043029841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-27631315479411117002009-04-23T22:31:00.000-06:002009-04-23T22:31:00.000-06:00I did some reading on this.

The 10 year old didn't accompany her sister on the way home. She accepted food and a ride from a stranger (thank heavens it was a good samaritan!) I find it absolutely ridiculous! All these parenting groups are yelling about setting boundaries for the kids and when the parents finally get backbones and set the limits, they risk getting arrested, or sued (like the Canadain father).Wild Banks'https://www.blogger.com/profile/15869642499538495307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-55666348989233249972009-04-23T20:28:00.000-06:002009-04-23T20:28:00.000-06:00AMEN Sista!

If she would have made them both walk home and had followed them in her car, yeah, I'd say all the hooplah was way overboard. <br /><br />I know I must have threatened my girls with this a million times! But I can't remember if I ever actually did it. And, yeah, I was babysitting at age 11, too! Wimpy kids these days. :-)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815105600814299694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-81925952725255263752009-04-23T17:03:00.000-06:002009-04-23T17:03:00.000-06:00I don't agree at all, but you all may be deciding ...I don't agree at all, but you all may be deciding on different facts than I had.<br /><br />The twelve year old got back in the car and the mom drove off leaving the ten year old by herself in a commercial district of White Plains approximately three miles from the home. I don't think its acceptable to leave a ten year old that far from home in a nonresidential area, especially when the child is under distress (whether self-imposed or not).<br /><br />The other reports indicate that the ten year old was spotted by a good samaritan, was bought an ice cream cone and then taken to the police. So - the kid accepted candy from a stranger and was persuaded to go with this stranger to another location. That doesn't make me feel good. Good thing it was actually a good samaritan and not someone with other intentions.<br /><br />The mom obviously realized that she hadn't made the best decision leaving the ten year old where she did, because she called the police when the kid didn't show up at home. Makes you wonder exactly where the kid was left.<br /><br />Yeah - I just don't see it.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00972229588589732715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-37243621251012613332009-04-23T14:28:00.000-06:002009-04-23T14:28:00.000-06:00I honestly thought it was a mug shot of the crazy ...I honestly thought it was a mug shot of the crazy space lady who drove across the country in a diaper with the trunk full of rope, knifes, and other kidnapping essentials.X-Country2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01543524827265377886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-671907626087711132009-04-23T13:30:00.000-06:002009-04-23T13:30:00.000-06:00Seriously.

The mother actually ended up calling the cops after her 12 yr old showed up but not the younger one.<br />I think the mother should have started off enforcing her threats before this age and it might have been avoided.
