No Helicopter Parents, Just Helicopter Bureaucrats

Astonishingly, the state of Maryland has decided that the parents who -- horrors! -- let their kids walk home from the park by themselves are guilty of "unsubstantiated" child neglect and must be closely monitored for five years. FOR LETTING THEIR KIDS WALK HOME ALONE. Which I did, from school, for practically my entire education. This is insane. Parenting that was common until recently and is almost totally innocuous is now "neglect" and subject to state monitoring. We have lost our collective minds. (Washington Post)
