  Speaker 1: You know what's funny?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And you talked about the streetlights coming on and the people,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the dudes who got to stay past the street light.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: You know you thought they was cool and the girl
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the dudes went to jail and the girls got pregnant.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: You got to stay. I'm telling you. If you if
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you didn't have to be home, the mama, I ain't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: got to be home. If you didn't have to be home.
• 1:39

• 1:43
  Speaker 1: when I'm ready. Yeah, yeah, my mama said, come on. Yep,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: mama locked up and knocked up. That's what happened for Joe. Qus.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: We're asking a mother and father of a six year
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: old charge with because they let him ride school or
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: four minutes away.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: It should there have been. That's the question we're posing
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to you. Eight seven seven two two two six.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I do think I think that there were just as
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: many things that happened back then. I just think we
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: didn't have social media, we might not have the apparatus
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to kind of talk.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: About it all the time.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: But needless to say, it wasn't unusual for a kid like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: hey man, your mother would.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Leave you at home by yourself. And don't you answer
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the door and cut the pilot light off?
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: That was all.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: No, don't answer the phone, don't answer the door and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: leave it sove off. Don't let nobody in my house.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Oh your little nasty friend son. Yeah yeah, And when
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I call, you got to pick up the phone. Yep, Mama,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: what if the house case, if I were, you better
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: burn up come back. You could be in hospital smoking
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the laces, Like did I tell you not to leave?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I told you not to leave that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: But one difference back then, you know, the whole neighborhood
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: was kind of like your mama, you know, so even
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: when your mama was gone, everybody watching the house just
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: to make sure you get a beaten. If you do
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: open that door, come out the house, you come running out.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: You know you remember, remember you be talking to somebody
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: out the window, couldn't go outside, and they stay next
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to the one.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Of Yeah, like I was saying, my mama, go here.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But you got away with because you wasn't out there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I wasn't out the house. That's right. They would stand
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and talk to you through the screen door. That was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so stupid. Anything to be close, you know what.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It was a punishment to if you if you had
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to stay in in the house, I was a punishment.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Now you can't get the kids leave the house?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they fat invitament. How are you seven years old
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: with diabetes?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Fat ass?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: The question we're asking a the the parents of a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: six year old or charged with child neglect because they
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: let him ride a scooter four minutes to the park
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: four minutes. Where do you think they should have been
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: were going to write to the phones.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: I don't think that chim should be charged for dogs.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: Might be a little glass or a little you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: but I don't see where they should be so good.
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: I mean put the court sent the court, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: or maybe charged Like when we were coming up, we
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: just know.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: To be back before the street light.
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: Come on.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: My mom and dad didn't here where we went as long.
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: As we come back. And I know it's different times
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: now because there's more pedophiles out there, but I think
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: maybe a stern talking to. But you know they call
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: them change treaches now for a reason. It's all from
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: me age.
• 4:29
  Speaker 10: Honestly, I think that it's really absolutely careless to give
• 4:36
  Speaker 10: your child that much time to be unsupervised because you
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: don't know who's lurking looking at your child. You know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 10: if your child is the most precious thing that you have,
• 4:48
  Speaker 10: it's your most precious commodity, so to speak, then you
• 4:52
  Speaker 10: need to guard it with your life. And by sending
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: your child out there without proper supervision puts them in
• 4:59
  Speaker 10: the place to be, you know, harmed. So you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: if they did it once, that may be a warning.
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: But if this is you know, if you're a repeated offender,
• 5:11
  Speaker 10: because if you don't look out for your child and
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: somebody takes your child, then what are you going to do?
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: So charging the parents gives a message that you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 10: take more care with your child, don't be careless with
• 5:26
  Speaker 10: their wellbeing.
• 5:28
  Speaker 11: I think that is crave see that they would actually
• 5:32
  Speaker 11: let the child you talking about the well and let
• 5:35
  Speaker 11: the child go well let me give a fine answer.
• 5:38
  Speaker 11: You tell me, I'm curious to know if they're black
• 5:40
  Speaker 11: or white. I know me personally, I wouldn't do that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 11: Not two daughters. Ain't no way I'm letting my daughter,
• 5:48
  Speaker 11: even if I.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Had a son, do that foolish, that's crazy.
• 5:52
  Speaker 12: I would not allow. I have a five year old
• 5:55
  Speaker 12: he turns sixth this September, and just looking at him,
• 5:59
  Speaker 12: I cannot afford to let him go outside by himself, unsupervised.
• 6:04
  Speaker 12: He's just too little. He doesn't even know so much
• 6:07
  Speaker 12: about like being outside. What's safety concerns, you know, maybe
• 6:11
  Speaker 12: there plus everything that's going on right now, the kidnappings
• 6:15
  Speaker 12: and all of that, I will not let him go
• 6:17
  Speaker 12: outside when when he's not able to defend himself.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a.
• 6:24
  Speaker 13: Low level charge neglect would be sufficient. It's not like
• 6:29
  Speaker 13: it's when I was coming up at in the seventies,
• 6:33
  Speaker 13: late seventies and early eighties. I could go to the
• 6:36
  Speaker 13: park by myself, kicking with my six years sixty seven
• 6:39
  Speaker 13: year old eight nineteen year old bridge and come back
• 6:41
  Speaker 13: home by myself. But you can't do that these days
• 6:44
  Speaker 13: because they will snatch your little croup snatcher and then
• 6:48
  Speaker 13: you're gonna be crying. So yeah, I do pay some
• 6:51
  Speaker 13: sort of punishment, legal consequences. Probation is for that, or acknolishing,
• 6:58
  Speaker 13: even a parenting class.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: About them.
• 7:03
  Speaker 14: Okay, So when I heard the question, immediately, I said,
• 7:07
  Speaker 14: six years old is young. But then your discussion after
• 7:12
  Speaker 14: about your childhood and what happened, and I'm like, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 14: that that happened to me. That's what my parents did,
• 7:20
  Speaker 14: Like seriously in summer. You've just come back in August.
• 7:24
  Speaker 15: That was normal, you know what I mean.
• 7:28
  Speaker 14: But you all had me cracking up when you said
• 7:30
  Speaker 14: about can you spell cool? When you're a referred to?
• 7:36
  Speaker 14: So I survived my childhood of you learn to ride
• 7:41
  Speaker 14: the bike, go outside?
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 14: So well I'm on the fence.
• 7:48
  Speaker 13: I'm on the fence.
• 7:49
  Speaker 14: I don't think they should be charged.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So a couple, it's.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Charged with your neglect for letting their six year old
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: ride his scooter to the park four minutes away.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Do you think they should have been Okay? What do
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: I think that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Times have changed.
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: I know when we were coming up, we you know, six, seven,
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: eight years old, I was you know, opening the door.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: I was a latchkey kid, and my kids were latch
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: key kids. But seems like this generation right here particularly,
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: they just not as responsible. And I don't know if
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: that's because they're always in front of you know, games
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: and stuff like that that they don't have the the
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: wherewithal you know what I mean, just you know, they
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: don't know to shoot gum and ride a bike at
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: the same time. So there's different kind of breedy kids.
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: But when we were coming up four minutes, I mean,
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: we were gone forever at six. So but I understand
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of pedophiles. There's a lot of kids
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: being taken.
• 8:56
  Speaker 14: We weren't you can.
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: Give us away when we were coming up. So but
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: I don't think they should have been charged with neglect.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: You know, they trying to be parents to help their
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: children be independent. That's how I see they.
• 9:11
  Speaker 13: Probably was doing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: But they shouldn't have been charged with a crime and all.
• 9:16
  Speaker 16: Honestly, I think that the child should be taken away,
• 9:19
  Speaker 16: Like there's so much stuff going on in the world
• 9:21
  Speaker 16: today with kids and just in general, and like why
• 9:25
  Speaker 16: would you let your kid ride to the six years
• 9:27
  Speaker 16: old to the park by themselves four minutes away, one
• 9:30
  Speaker 16: minute away, Like it don't matter. I think they definitely
• 9:32
  Speaker 16: should have been charged.
• 9:33
  Speaker 15: I come to the generation next.
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: While it was okay back then, it's not okay now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 15: Children have been snatched in less than four minutes before.
• 9:42
  Speaker 15: So while I wouldn't necessarily charge them or arrest them,
• 9:46
  Speaker 15: they definitely would get a stack on the risk and
• 9:48
  Speaker 15: have to go through the parents.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: In classic well, it was.
• 9:50
  Speaker 15: Some person that said that was like a historian to say,
• 9:53
  Speaker 15: somebody or president. They said, during good times, we raised
• 9:57
  Speaker 15: soft kids. At hard times we raised strong kids. But
• 10:00
  Speaker 15: at any rate, when we were younger, and I'm from
• 10:03
  Speaker 15: the seventies, it's just like, you know, the age of
• 10:06
  Speaker 15: both parents basically having to work and all that, your
• 10:08
  Speaker 15: kid had to be made out of something, And we're
• 10:10
  Speaker 15: not really making our kids responsible for themselves until they
• 10:13
  Speaker 15: are about to leave our households. So at six years old, man,
• 10:17
  Speaker 15: I was walking five to ten minutes to my bus
• 10:20
  Speaker 15: stop that was on a whole nother road and won't
• 10:23
  Speaker 15: nowhere near the front of my house. So keep that
• 10:26
  Speaker 15: in mind, brother, We raised this off kids on purpose,
• 10:29
  Speaker 15: but we can't be surprised when the government can look
• 10:31
  Speaker 15: at it like most of these kids cannot stand for theirself.
• 10:33
  Speaker 15: So big ups to the latch key generation.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they definitely a CDF need to get the handle
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: little that they need to take that chaut because I'm
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: raising a five year old and there's no way in
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: God's greenough I would leave them other park by himself
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: to play. I don't care who they think they are.
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: We had to get in for the lights went on.
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: Definitely a six year old. Even though they can talk
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: and they can talk slick, they can cuss, they're still
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: six years old. They can't defend themselves at all.
• 11:03
  Speaker 17: Y'all made a valid point when y'all said, these kids
• 11:06
  Speaker 17: walking to school every day, are their parents being child charged?
• 11:10
  Speaker 17: Whin neglick because we know if there's a school district
• 11:12
  Speaker 17: in the area four minutes away from walking from their school,
• 11:16
  Speaker 17: every parent that let their kids walk to school should
• 11:18
  Speaker 17: be charged.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: When Neglick to when from school.
• 11:20
