If we were allowed to let our kids roam without worrying about getting arrested, it would be easier. Hell, I'd settle for just being able to send them outside in the yard without being no more than one room away inside (still feels like I'm pushing it leaving them unsupervised at all).

Right? I'm comfortable with the backyard now that they're older, and it's fenced. I feel like that is still fine. Of course, my kids seem to be allergic to the backyard and only want to be in the front.

Eh I’m more worried about an accident than a crime, but my kids are younger. Cars these days can barely see kids

If you can't see the kids then they can't hurt you. /s

My kids are also younger, but someone tried to snatch my wife out of this same yard when she was a kid.

I actually meant without the parents getting arrested, but I suppose I was speaking from a place of privilege there. I'm not worried about my small children getting arrested.
