WaPo: Parents investigated for neglect after letting kids walk home alone.

Good lord. This is just unacceptable. Kids need to be able to roam on their own, to learn, to become self-reliant.  I walked myself to and from school in *kindergarten*. Five years old. Not even a half mile. This was my route.  Down the main drag of Nassau Street. Crossed populous secondary roads, with and without crossing guards.

As a culture, we continue to see children as victims, instead of survivors. We’ve lost the thread.
