A couple of pages about parking in the disabled spot. A couple of pages about driving your kids to school. Must be all those new epicski migrants.

It's a different world then when we were kids. I recall walking a half mile to school in the third grade by myself, in Manhattan. I was 8. These days, parents get arrested for that stuff. This story is but one example out of many. Aaron may think we need our kids to harden the fuck up, but it's not worth risking a visit from CPS just so we can raise our children to his exacting standards.

isn't it funny how hard Aaron fought for parking illegally, but then takes a hard line stance on driving kids to school?

The most amusing thing about all this is that by all rational evidence (crime stats and such), things are much *safer* now-a-days than when we were kids.
People are generally bad at risk-assessment.
That said, I drive my youngest to elementary school, but drop him off several blocks from the school so I don't have to deal with the utter shitshow at the school parking lot.

It's an anecdote Buster. You've always struck me a pretty smart guy, but now I'm having my doubts.
skaredshtles has it right. Danno's linked story from Florida is from Florida, of course that happened there, the place is filled with cretins. Around here kids of all ages walk to school, take the school and city buses and I've never heard anyone cry endangerment. CPS, really? We're fucking doomed, Idiocracy in full effect.

That people think things are worse now 'than ever' sure seems like function of the informational deluge we're under as communication mechanisms improve.
