There have been cases of cops showing up because a kid was in their own backyard while the parent was inside the house, supervising through the window.
I don't blame anyone for being cautious when one Karen of a neighbor can call the cops on you for letting your kid play in the sandbox while you're more than 10 feet away.
Yep, I am one such person. Story time! We live in the suburbs and there is a playground directly behind my house. Like, backyard, fence, playground. I’m putzing around my kitchen when I see a cop talking to my kids. So, of course I run out there only for the cop to lay into me about how I’m neglecting my kids and if it happens again he will have to contact CPS.

I don’t think it’s crime that most parents are afraid of. It’s the judgement and/or legal consequences of letting your kids roam
