A 6-year-old Atlanta boy’s solo scooter ride from a local park landed his parents in hot water with child services—even though they could see the path from their home and Georgia law now supports childhood independence. The family was shocked to be labeled 'neglectful' for letting their confident son travel a short, familiar route. After weeks of stress and legal wrangling, the case was dropped, but the experience left the parents wary about letting their kids roam. Where do you draw the line between safety and independence for kids in your neighborhood? #Relationships #Atlanta #Parenting
