Consider reading the article before you spend multiple paragraphs criticizing the source, because the actual outcome was that Heather Wallace is now barred from her career field and is considered a danger to children.
Also, for all of your hand wringing over the source, you failed to realize that this is original piece by Lenore Skenazy, probably the most well known advocate for the free range kids movement, and she has not only contributed to Reason, but also the NY Times, WaPo, the WSJ, NPR, and PBS, among others.
Blindly criticizing a source without either reading the damn article or caring about whether the piece was from an original source is incredibly intellectually lazy.
- dredmorbius 4y agoI had read the article, and cited material from it. I'm not familiar with the author. Though I note that her principle publishing outlets both appear to lean strongly Right-Libertarian: Reason and the New York Sun (founded by Conrad Black), per Wikipedia. My point about Reason's slant and bias remains. If the story has legs, it should be available from another publication.
