Or just legalize 'neglect' (aka letting school age children be latchkey again without someone constantly lording over them).

This bizarre and historically unprecedented scenario where parents simultaneously must both work but be prosecuted for doing so will likely be a blip in history.

I don't know. It seems to be getting worse. Entire neighborhoods now come to a standstill because hundreds of giant cars converge on a school to deliver or pick up one kid at a time.

And this is in L.A., home to probably the least-challenging weather in the country. We have entire generations of junior-high and high-school kids who are apparently too feeble to ride their bikes, walk, or take the bus to school. Pathetic.

For those who haven't found it, Let Grow [0] is a great organization pushing for this kind of change. They have resources for parents and have actively worked with a number of states to get free range kids laws on the books.

You can reliably get a young kid to come home by themselves. You can't reliably get a young kid to go to school by themselves.
