It's in the story, which is written by a co-founder of one of the NPOs that supported the Texas law: > "Wallace believes this could be due to the Reasonable Childhood Independence law that Texas passed in 2021 with the help of Let Grow, the non-profit I co-founded. It's part of HB567, a larger child welfare reform bill, and clarifies that parents are allowed to let their kids engage in independent activities as long as they aren't putting them in serious, likely danger." But as the story notes, that bill did not affect criminal law, so the cops can still do this.
