A 10-year-old boy in Georgia walked to a local store alone, leading to his mother's arrest for reckless endangerment. This incident exposes the societal overemphasis on child safety over their independence.
A Georgia mother was arrested recently for reckless endangerment after her 10-year-old son was seen walking alone. Her arrest was due to her perceived willful endangerment of her son’s safety. The boy had walked less than one mile to visit a local dollar store. A passerby, alarmed by the boy’s presence on the street, called the police, highlighting the societal anxiety known as 'safetyism.
' This incident reflects how 'safetyism' stifles children's independence and undermines parents' decision-making autonomy. The lack of child-friendly infrastructure, such as sidewalks, in many suburban areas, further exacerbates these fears
