  • The Evil Urge to Blame Parents, by Lenore Skenazy

    3 days ago | creators.com | Lenore Skenazy

    A mom and dad who let their kids, 10 and 7, walk to the grocery in a city outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, are grieving today because the 7-year-old, Legend, died after running into the street and being hit by a car. If you had to decide on a punishment for the parents, would you:A — Arrest them for manslaughter, set bail at $1.5 million, and forbid them from attending their son's funeral? B — Decide they've been punished enough? The authorities in Gastonia, North Carolina, chose option A.

The photo shows a ponytailed girl riding a bike with a younger friend or sibling on the handlebars, or maybe it’s a ponytailed mom riding with her child up there.
