    This is one of the problems that liberals create for themselves which cause the middle ground people to hate them. The liberals go too far. (I have no idea what I’m classified as - right leaning liberal, left leaning independent, or whatever.) The left wing needs to stay out of how parents raise their children, except for cases of abuse. This isn’t abuse. I’ve personally asked social workers, who were patients of mine, if the number of cases of child abductions have risen and every one of them have said no. It just appears that way due to our immediate access to news, social media, and Amber alerts. I would take off on my bike Saturday mornings. I would be away from home all day. I just had to be hone before the street lights came on.

    A woman who saw him walking alongside the road—speed limit: 25 in some places, 35 in others—asked him if he was OK. He said yes.

    Nevertheless, she called the police.

    So it was all that Karen’s fault…

      No. It was liberal busybodies who enabled this sort of thing to happen in the first place.

      And if that statement pisses anyone off, ask yourself this: Do you think this sort of thing was championed by conservative people?

      I’m liberal as hell in most opinions, but this is exactly the sort of government overreach conservatives despise.

      While I’m a big parental rights fan I actually tentatively am siding with the state on this one.

      Patterson had driven her eldest son to a medical appointment. Her youngest son, 11-year-old Soren, intended to come along but wasn’t around when it was time to leave.

      It’s one thing to intentionally raise your child in a free-range way, I think that should be allowed to a certain degree. It’s a completely different thing to neglect your child by driving away from your home after you can’t find him at the house and you don’t know where he is.
