Nicole Gainey from St. Lucie, Florida was arrested this week and charged with child neglect, a felony, for allowing her 7-year-old son to walk half a mile to the park.
America’s police state meets America’s nanny state in this ridiculous situation.
If you would like to help Nicole, you can call the St. Lucie County State’s Attorney’s office and voice your discontent with this charge at: (772) 465-3000
I see nothing wrong in your kids walking this far, its good for them.

Gee my kids walked 6 blocks to school…I think that is a half mile. Which is less than the distance I walked to school.

But, it ok for parents to let their cross BORDERS and COUNTRIES and wander (if they lived that long) into our country ??? What the hell is up with this, and take a action against a U.S. citizen like that !

When I was 8, I was walking 2 miles to school and back every day. The park was 1 mile from my house and I went there all the time. I was fine and turned out fine. People today need to let their kids play outside and get them off these electronic devices. Its ruining the younger generation. Oh, I’m only 33 so I’m not that old either. And those who say its more dangerous now than it was 20 years ago are wrong. Crime is at an all time low. The only thing is you hear about crime 24-7 now with 24 hour news channels and the internet. Oh, and when I was 5, I was on the back of a flat bed trailer bailing hay with my neighbor as well. People really need to butt out of other’s lives.
