Mom Jailed for Letting 10-Year-Old Walk Alone to Town
“I was not panicking as I know the roads and know he is mature enough to walk there without incident,” says Brittany Patterson.
Seems less to do with cars and more to do with citizen/government stupidity:
“It’s not quite a mile from his house.”
Looks like Georgia DOES have a “Reasonable Childhood Independence” law…

‘anything’ could have happened if he’d stayed home too. ‘Anything’ is a low bar. ;)
Anything can happen at the church at a higher ate than on the road lol
but this clowns never worry about that one…
In a town of 370 people? How many cars were on the road? 3?
Probably around 370 in total, but at any given moment, 3.
I live in a rural community. What scares me the most is the dumbass hicks flying around in their giant vehicles, both old and young. They’re always driving like their houses are on fire.
Here’s where the problem is. The sheriff is viewing the potential for the kid to get hit by a person driving a car as the kid’s fault, when of course the fault should lie completely with her person operating heavy machinery.
She needs a fucking hobby besides acting like some pedo. 100 percent if this was a man watching a kid it would be taken much differently.
Obligatory reminder: you have the right to silence in the US. Under no circumstances do you have to say anything to them, except for specific things like, “I want a lawyer,” and, “Am I under arrest?”
