• 0:43
  Speaker 2: over the neighborhood and all of a sudden you hear
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: that hum oh street lights coming on. Yeah, and we
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: had you were way more than four minutes. That's why
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: we were all in shape back then, because that was
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: better than the peloton. We would just hey man, we
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: was flying trying to get back home. But you were
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: miles away from.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Now, and not to mention, we had to walk to
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: school and up that was way over a couple of holes,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So amen, that's why I stopped going. I'm like this walking.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: My calves getting too big.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: My last walk, Papa, I can I can't do it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: no more. My pro kids is toe up. I can't
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: do this. You know what's funny. You talked about the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: streetlights coming on and the people, the dudes who got
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to stay past the street light. You know, you thought
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: they was cool, and the girl the dudes went to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: jail and the girls got pregnant. You got to stay up.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. If you if you didn't have to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: be home, Mama, I ain't got to be home. If
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you didn't have to be home. The dudes all went
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to jail, and the girls all got pregnant, and you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: just got you got past that street home when I'm ready. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: my mama said, come on, yep, got locked up and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: knocked up. That's what happened for Jo. But we're asking
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a mother and father of a six year old charge
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with because they let him ride scooter 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 six. I do
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: think I think that there were just as many things
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that happened back then. I just think we didn't have
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: social media, we might not have the apparatus to kind
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of talk about it all the time. But needless to say,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it wasn't unusual for a kid like hey, man, your
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: mother would leave you at home by yourself. And don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you answer the door and cut the pilot light off?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That was all. No, don't answer the phone, don't answer
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the door and leave it so off.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Don't let nobody in my house. Oh your little nasty
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: friend son.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And when I call you, better pick up
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the phone. Yep, Mama, what if the house case, if
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I were you better burn up? You come back here?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You you be in hospital smoking the laces? Did I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: tell you not to leave?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I told you to leave?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: But one difference back then, you know, the whole neighborhood
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: was kind of like your mama. You know, so even
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: when your mama was gone, everybody watching the house just
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to make sure that you you're beaten.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: If you do open that door going out the house.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I saw you come running out. You know you remember,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: remember you be talking to somebody out the window. Couldn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: go outside and stay next to the winner. Yeah, like
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I was saying, my mama, go over here. But you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: got away with because you wasn't out there. I wasn't
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: out the house, right. They would stand and talk to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you through the screen door. That was so stupid. Anything
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to be close, you know what, it was a punishment
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to if you if you had to stay in the house,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that was a punishment.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Now you can't get the kids leave the house.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they fat invitedment. How are you seven years old
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with diabetes? Fat ass? The question we're asking a the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the parents of a six year old or charged with
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: child because they let him ride a scooter four minutes
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to to the park four minutes. Where do you think
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: they should have been going to write to the phones?
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I think that it's really absolutely careless to give
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: your child that much time to be unsupervised, because you
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: don't know who's lurking looking at your child. You know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: if your child is the most precious thing that you have,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: it's your most precious commodity, so to speak, then you
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: need to guard it with your life. And by sending
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: your child out there without proper supervision puts them in
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: a place to be, you know, harmed. So you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: if they did it once, that may be a warning.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: But if this is you know, if you're a repeated offender,
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: because if you don't look out for your child and
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: somebody takes your child, then what are you going to do?
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: So charging their parents gives a message that, you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: take more care with your child, don't be careless with
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: their wellbeing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: I think that is crave thee and they would actually
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: let you talking about well and let their child go. Well,
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: let me give you my answer. He tell me, I'm
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: curious to know if they're black or white. I know
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: me personally, I wouldn't do that. Not two daughters. Ain't
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: no way I'm letting my daughter, even if I had
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: a son to that foolish, that's crazy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: I would not allow. I have a five year old
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: he turned sixth September, and just looking at him, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: cannot afford to let him go outside by himself, unsupervised.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: He's just too little. He doesn't even know so much
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: about like being outside. What's safety concerns? You know, maybe
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: there plus everything that's going on right now, but kidnappings
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: and all of that I would not let him go
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: outside when he when he's not able to defend himself.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think a low level charge neglect would be supicious.
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: It's not like it's when when I was coming up
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: in the seventies, late seventies and earlier, I could go
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: to the park by myself, kicking with my six years
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: sixty seven year old eight nineteen year old fridge and
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: come back home by myself. But you can't do that
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: these days because they will snatch your little crumb snatcher
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: and they're gonna be cryed. So yeah, I do think
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: some sort of punishments, legal consequences, probations is for that,
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: or anonishing, even a parenting class at end this day
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: and age.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: That's how happened about.
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: That, Okay, So when I heard the question, immediately, I said,
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: six years old is young.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But then your discussion.
• 6:36
  Speaker 10: After about your childhood and what happened, and I'm.
• 6:41
  Speaker 11: Like, but that that happened to me.
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: That's what my parents did, Like seriously in summer.
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: You've just come back in August.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That was normal, do you know what I mean?
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: But you all had me cracking up when you said
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: about can you spell cool?
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: When you're referred to, so.
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: I survived my childhood of you learn to ride the bike,
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: go outside, you know, so I'm on the fence.
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: I'm on the fence.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: I don't think they should be charged.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So a couple's charged with your neglect for letting their
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: six year old ride his scooter to the park form
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: as way, do you think they should have been? Okay,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 7:25
  Speaker 11: I think that times have changed. I know when we
• 7:31
  Speaker 11: were coming up, we you know, six, seven, eight years old,
• 7:35
  Speaker 11: I was, you know, opening the door of a latch
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: key kid, and my kids were latch key kids. But
• 7:42
  Speaker 11: seems like this generation right here particularly, they just not
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: as responsible. And I don't know if that's because they're
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: always in front of you know, games and stuff like
• 7:55
  Speaker 11: that that they don't have the the wherewithal you don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 11: mean just you know, they don't know to shoot gum
• 8:04
  Speaker 11: and ride a bike at the same time. So there's
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: different kind of breedy kids. But when we were coming
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: up four minutes, I mean, we were gone forever at six.
• 8:16
  Speaker 11: So but I understand there's a lot of pedophiles, there's
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: a lot of kids being taken. We weren't you could
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: give us away when we were coming up so, but
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: I don't think they should have been charged with neglect.
• 8:30
  Speaker 11: You know, they're trying to be parents to help their
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: children be independent. That's how I see they probably was doing.
• 8:37
  Speaker 11: But they shouldn't have been charged with a crime.
• 8:41
  Speaker 12: I think that in all honestly, I think that the
• 8:43
  Speaker 12: child should be taken away, Like there's so much stuff
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: going on in the world today with kids and just
• 8:49
  Speaker 12: in general, and like why would you let your kid
• 8:52
  Speaker 12: ride to the six years old to the park by
• 8:54
  Speaker 12: themselves four minutes away, one minute away, Like it don't matter.
• 8:58
  Speaker 12: I think they definitely should have been charged.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I come to the generation next. While it was okay
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: back then, it's just not okay now. Children have been
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: snatched in less than four minutes before.
• 9:08
  Speaker 12: So while I wouldn't necessarily charge them or arrest them,
• 9:12
  Speaker 12: they definitely would.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Get us back on the risk and have to go
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: through the parents in class. Well, it was some person
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: that said that was like a historian or saying somebody
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: or president. They said, during good times we raised soft kids,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: and hard times we raised strong kids. But at any rate,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: when we were younger, and I'm from the seventies, it's
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: just like, you know, the age of both parents basically
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: having to work and all that. Yet kid had to
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: be made out of something and we're not really making
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: our kids responsible for themselves until they are about to
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: leave our households. So at six years old, man, I
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: was walking five to ten minutes to my bus stop
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: that was on a whole nother road and it won't
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: nowhere near the front of my house. So keep that
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: in mind.
• 9:54
  Speaker 12: Brother.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: We raised this off kids on purpose, but we can't
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: be surprised when the government can look at it like
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: these kids cannot send.
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: For their song.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: So big ups to the latch Key generation.
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they definitely a CDF.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Need to get the handle of that.
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: They need to take that child because I'm raising a
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: five year old and there's no way in God's greener
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: if I will leave another park by yourself to play.
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: I don't care who they think they are. We had
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: to get in for the lights went on. Definitely a
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: six year old. Even though they can talk and they
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: can talk slick, they can cuss, they're still six years old.
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: They can't defend themselves at all.
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: Y'all made a valid point when y'all said these kids
• 10:36
  Speaker 13: walking to school every day, their parents being charged when
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: Negli because we know if there's a school district in
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: the area four minutes away from walking from their school,
• 10:45
  Speaker 13: every parent that let their kids walk to school should
• 10:48
  Speaker 13: be charged when neglick to and from school.
