Reply to comment by Whydoyouhatefreedom in Killington, Connecticut parents arrested for letting kids, ages 7 and 9, walk to Dunkin' Donuts by Kodiak01

In my case, we lived in West Hartford on the Bloomfield border, and I rode my bike to Bishop's Corner or West Hartford center. Pharmacy newsstands and candy aisles, radio shack, toy stores, Lafayette, book stores, children's museum, town parks, libraries. That was decades ago, and things have changed, but I find this story sort of bizarre.

Heck, growing up in Berlin I was just in trouble if I wasn’t back before dinner without notice. I’m not sure my parents knew where I was on most days, although they probably could have found out with a few phone calls.
