🌎 Another example of BSC. Don't let your kids walk in GA...might get arrested. Or, in this case, you will.

This reminds me of the time I get a call from the sheriff/ police about my wife's nephew at the time he was living with us. He asks if I knew he was riding his bike so far from the house (is about 10 miles away from the house). He was calling me to verify he aged, I told him he 18 and he likes to ride his bike.

Our parents never knew exactly where we were. We were usually within a 10 mile radius but we left in the morning and made sure we were home by dark, may our may not come back for lunch. We were at a creek fishing, riding bikes or 4 wheelers, playing ball at someone's pasture or something on the weekends and we'd camp at the creek half the summer. I was taking the truck to go hunting by 13. My mom's rule was we had to work if she could see us so we made sure she couldn't.

@TerryP here an updated on the Mother.

Mom facing jail time after son walked alone less than a mile from home, reports say

The 41-year-old mother said she was annoyed Soren didn’t tell her where he was going, but didn’t think anything else of it.

Soren was taken home by deputies and apologized for the miscommunication with his mother, which Patterson thought was the end of the situation.

However, officers returned hours later and she was arrested.


In the state, neglect by a parent can be defined as a “failure to provide a child with adequate supervision necessary for such child’s well-being,” according to a guideline.

Patterson was booked on suspicion of reckless conduct and posted a $500 bond.

Authorities have urged Patterson to sign a safety plan, which would require her to make sure her children are under a constant watchful eye.

She said she will not sign the form and will fight the charge.


“This is not right, I did nothing wrong,” Patterson said. “I’m going to fight for that.”

A GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for Patterson. So far, it has raised over $48,000.

If convicted, she could face up to one year in jail.

I don't have any kids. Y'all know that. But, a 10 year old boy that I raised? If a cop is messing with him walking down the street he's singing, "This is the best day of my life."
