Chris and Amy discuss the case of a Georgia mother arrested for child endangerment after her 11-year-old son walked unsupervised to a nearby town. Lenore Skenazy, president of Let Grow, joins the conversation to highlight the broader issue of overprotective parenting and the criminalization of childhood independence. Skenazy criticizes safety plans that mandate constant supervision and tracking, arguing that they harm children's autonomy and mental health. Let Grow's advocacy for free-range parenting has influenced laws in eight states to better define neglect, promoting a healthier balance between safety and independence.
