Should Kids Be Left Alone?

Tomorrow is the sixth annual ‘take our children to the park, and leave them there day.’
The yearly event was started on a popular parenting blog called “Free-Range Kids.”
The whole point is to encourage children to come up with something to do without an adult directing them.
The blogger claims one in four kids — ages 6 to 12 — never goes outside without a parent.

Do kids need time away from their parents?
