Hilary Gowins: Latchkey laws are the ultimate ‘mom shaming’
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/latchkey-laws-mom-shaming
Mom shaming is at the forefront of our collective consciousness as mothers. We’ve effectively called out those who pass judgment on how we feed our babies. We’ve banded together to support each other regardless of whether we choose to go back to work or stay home with the kids.
We thought the root of the problem stemmed from our peers, and so we’ve fought for a culture of kindness and community. But some of the most insidious mom shaming today is coming from over-reaching laws.
In three states, parents can face legal penalties for choosing to let their kids play outside on their own. It’s a scary reality that pits children’s need for independence against parents’ fear of being branded "neglectful."
It is in the usual leftist states.
In Illinois, bureaucrats picked age 14. In Maryland, 8. In Oregon, 10.
The wussification of America continues.
