In rural Georgia, a 10-year-old boy left home and walked a mile down the road to another town, where a concerned citizen called law enforcement. Deputies then arrested the boy’s mother, igniting a debate about parental rights and potential government overreach.
In the year 2002 at age 10, I rode my bike 2 miles to school every day and 3 miles to hang out with friends in town.
People still do this.
