Nowadays, that kind of "negligence" will get your children taken away and land you in jail.

That and other related/similar societal changes have me scared of having children. I would get locked up for spanking my kids' butt or letting them play outside or something like that.

It's staggering. My favorite is the people that call the police if parents leave teen-aged children in the car.

From about nine on, I used to beg to be allowed to sit in the car and read instead of getting dragged along through stores.

Recently a dad in BC let his kids take transit by themselves (after a lengthy period of testing before letting them journey on their own), he was banned from letting his kids take the bus.
