   Social media firestorm over free-range kids
   #FreeRangeKids
   #parenting #independentkids

   I raised my kid as a free-range kid. He is self-initiating and got himself into special classes at school on his own (filling out his own paperwork). He would go into the city for concerts with his friends at 14 years old.

   As a kid, I remember being out of the house and doing my own thing before I was eight years old. (Okinawan jungle with Habu)

   Don't steal experiences from kids.

   So what have we learned? We learned that you can make even a suburban white kid decide not to help the cops because they think that cops can't be trusted and are not safe, just by mistreating them in one single incident, on one day.

   Now imagine a Black kid 🙋🏿♂️ who's had hundreds of unsafe interactions with cops, since he was 12 years old.

   As a kid, I had that growth spurt that made me 6 ft tall, and I've been mistreated ever since. And my experience is not unique.
