Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome. We are having a ball here with these conversations with some

amazing people like Lenore Skenezi. So good we had to bring her back for part two. We're talking

about children and do we have free range children or

we helicopter parents? Well, stay tuned, part two of my discussion with the crusader herself,

Lenore Schenese. Let's get into the legalities. Okay. So the legalities are this. Most states

have neglect laws that are kind of open endedended in that they say something like parents must

her daughter's dine.

In the summer, during summer vacation,

the daughter would go with the mom to work

when the mom worked her shift at McDonald's.

And the daughter, Regina, yeah,

would play on her computer, a laptop. And then their laptop was stolen. And so the little girl said, well, can I go and stand to the park? You know, so many of my friends are there. A bunch of their parents are there. It was such a popular park. They served breakfast and lunch. And it was a splash park. And it's South Carolina in the summer. Like, how about instead of just me sitting here in McDonald's, I go play outside.
