I wonder if other parents these days would call CPS on you if they saw your kid strolling past the car pickup line?

- jandrese 4y agoYou will read the occasional horror story of people getting CPS called on them by some out of touch busybody because they let their kids walk to the park, but honestly that is just as rare as stranger-danger abductions. It's on the order of a case every few years. Basically nothing worth worrying about.
- bcrosby95 4y agoIt probably depends upon where you live. I've seen kids in our neighborhood walking to school alone as early as the 3rd grade. And we have a pack of young kids - ranging from 2nd grade to kindergarten, that regularly roam without adults. So at least where I live, this doesn't appear to be much of a concern.
- jefftk 4y agoI don't think it would be a problem here (Somerville MA): our oldest started walking to school alone in first grade, and home in second grade. Along with our middle child they are also often around the neighborhood on their own, going to the park by themselves or friends' houses.
