Thanks Sir Duf, I hadn't considered that being the reason why. Now I know, best not to quote someone who is stirring the pot.
I would turn someone in today for constantly ringing a large obnoxious bell all of the time.When I was little, my mom had a bell and the rule was you had to be close enough to the house to hear the bell, and it was a decent sized bell so the sound carried a ways. When she rang it, it was time to come home. Until then, we'd be running all over the neighborhood.

DH and I had a similar childhood to this. He was born in 1967, I was born in 1970. We kids were out of the house without parents until it was time to come home for dinner. You'd go around the neighborhood with friends--I remember walking through the woods and swamps with them, biking and roller skating down the street--and this was between the ages of 6 and 12. We kids would walk to school without adults, starting in 1st grade--a crossing guard only at the 'busy' street. All of these are things that you would NEVER let your kids do today. It is amazing how times change.I'm also a kid of the 70s. My older sister and I would run around the neighborhood by ourselves or with other neighborhood kids with no parents in sight all day long. I always say I had a "Leave it to Beaver" type of childhood. We live in a small mid-western town. There are tons of kids on our street, my 9 yr old dd knows them all because they all go to the same school. When I was a kids you'd go outside and see who was around to play with. Now parents have to arrange playdates with activites.
Now that would make for an interesting threadI did however see kids in care due to medical issues and other 'adult decisions'...
Your post made total sense and it's a bummer that your primary message couldn't be left alone. But I don't think the mods can edit a post to remove only a portion, it's all or nothing. Like PP said, it was just deleted b/c of the quote it contained. If you look above, the post you quoted has been removed as well. There's no way you're in trouble for what you wrote yourself!How is leaving kids in a secured program with highly trained cms for a few hours consider having parents who aren't taking care of them. Not sure why saying that got my previous post deleted.
