Mother Faces Jail Time For Letting 4-Year-Old Play OutsideBy Joshua Krause The two unrepentant busybodies who called the authorities, Sonja and Brandi Horrell, explained their reasons for the call to the local news. I just thought she would get a warning, and then she wouldnt let him be out alone again. Brandi added that Im not mad she has to do things now to teach her, because what if someone did take him?How would she feel if he was on an AMBERAlert? Then what would she be feeling? Yes, because apparently they know how to raise another persons child. At the heart of this case is the fact that the mother genuinely believed that her son was finally mature enough to play outside alone. But in our society, individual needs and abilities are no longer relevant, and parents cant raise their own children. The days of letting kids explore the world and make their own mistakes, is effectively over. As Hendrens attorney put it If this had happened 20 years ago, we wouldnt be here. There wouldnt be a criminal case filed. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author.

Sargeant Schultz knows. Deliberately putting your 4 year old in the park in Sacramento unsupervised while distracted in your gated apartment is blatant child neglect. Mama needs parenting classes while shes sitting in jail. In Switzerland, children can play outside in all parks, in all fields, in all streets. WITHOUT ANY GUARD!
