That’s an round-about way of offering you a sense of a rare but important way ‘all hell can break loose’ when you least expect it (as school schedules change, bunches of kids–even in small groups or alone– are out and about with no accountability, clear written agreements for adults and minors to understand about their area as recommendations from ‘those in charge and at large to have common safety and supervision as central with parental permission (from both parents )as well as from school or other recreational leaders offering guidelines to follow voluntarily (but Seriously to avoid law suits, injury or fatality.)
That’s the basic Formula for Today’s Society…and would prevent endless amounts of danger and difficulty (and even domestic abuse or other ways that youth are separated from their protective parent or caregiver.)
Now policies are being put in place that may end a parent’s rights if they are jailed, so even those warnings need to be given to all in a state and village to be aware of how the system may be ‘required’ to intervene. Safe & Together Institute has online resources to promote in one’s area and state. Other pro-active stances could be spelled out for all victims, minors, and even abusers to take note of these modern values for fairness, safety and accountability.
Thanks for Trying and Making a Safe Way through each day… It’s all part of the learning journey, including forgiving to heal and help guide our systems and others toward the path of peace and fairness…(at least legally and ideally ethically) but realizing there are no laws written in stone in modern times..that the societal laws of one’s country and state in the US are not informed by religious edicts as much as a business mindset…
Lots more to consider which I do on my blog Livfully.org and Good Luck to one and all to finding a safe path for oneself and others in their care, especially their offspring or relatives, elders or the infirmed or dependent on help fro basic ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) and more.
