The horse has left that barn. They're under surveillance from the moment they enter the maternity ward. The population of HN'ers who let a babysitter take care of their kids w/o a webcam is probably way below the general population.

Your kids will raise theirs under the watch of Alexa AI-Webcam and Apple Watch Child Protection kit.

And one day they'll sit on courts and find the Fourth Amendment quaint.

Maybe. Quite a few of us are raising kids free range.

Ideally, we can also pass along what life can be like.

What free range options exist for urban techs? I do find it reassuring to see more Jr High aged kids on Muni recently.

You gotta go take trips. Find some outdoors place and visit it often.

What about friends? If enough of you agree, the range is more free for the kids.

Finally, in your home, you can be permissive.
