Recently, a mother in Blue Ridge, Georgia, was arrested for misdemeanor reckless conduct after her 10-year-old son was found walking alone on a busy highway. The incident sparked a debate on parental rights and child safety.
The mother, a real-estate agent, had left her son at home while taking her older child to a chiropractor appointment. When she couldn't find her younger son, she assumed he was in the woods nearby, a common spot for him to be alone.
