CChuuni

:V I was unschooled, read Shakespeare, lived at the library, lived in trees, befriended raccoons and wolves, and knew better than to get in the car with strangers all by 7 yo. Soooooo
CChuuni
that said, my little brothers were dumb enough youngest-bro needed a curfew for 5 pm as opposed to my "whatever, just make sure you get home and don't leave us wondering plz" 'curfew' that actually broke town curfew (I didn't know/care) during summers between 14-16 when I had to walk miles to friends

Hells yes. #NeverGoFullLenaDunham

Mags
yeah I mean they make it clear the law is meant to be taken on a case by case basis
Mags
and I know I as a child was able to play outside and go to my neighbor's houses unsupervised so long as someone knew where I was
Mags
i think the idea is to make that not illegal.
Mags
just because you can doesn't you should
Mags
but that's where we would expect a parent to use their own best judgement
CChuuni
Yes exactly
CChuuni
My parents knew I was a weird kid, IQ tests when I was 3 & 4 years old, reading by then etc.
Mags
like my kid rarely ever leaves the room without me, let alone go outside; but he also has different circumstances that make giving him that freedom far too risky
Mags
but I see younger kids than him wandering around the street in a little pack all the time and they're fine. they stay out of the road and are watchful
CChuuni
ya
Mags
so like. idk I just think it's ridiculous it was a law they felt needed to be made
CChuuni
it's mostly just FOR SHOW I eman
CChuuni
It's not like it's New Jersey where because culture is totally different you're gonna GET those complaints a lot but
Mags
and to protect people from getting their kids taken away by cps because some neighbor videotaped them in the car while mom ran in to get her purse or something
Mags
yeah I think they just wanted to be preemptive like naw fam pls don't make drama for healthy safe kids ok? ok
Mags
obviously cases of actual harm and neglect will still be investigated and prosecuted.
CChuuni
ya
CChuuni
But it's still mostly for show because >> that literally hasn't happened in Utah and it's a kind of
CChuuni
"Haha we're not as dumb as you New Jersey" but lmao yes
Mags
honestly I thought other states had already begun passing stuff like this so I am a little surprised
Mags
maybe they were city ordinances we were hearing about
Mags
but anyway.
Mags
it will be interesting to see how the numbers shift tho. BEST CASE SCENARIO is there is no change wrt kidnappings etc
Mags
that's what I'm hoping for anyway.
CrypticGirl
I think I might have heard about that...?
CChuuni
Makes me wonder as before but I didn't want to say; if she was a plant and trying to be like entrapment of weirdness
