Remember not too many yrs ago when it was ok to let your 9 yr old son or daughter to go out and play either out in the woods, the sand lot, or a public park on their own. Well, apparently in America that is no longer allowed. On Monday July 07, 2014 a South Carolina mom was arrested for the crime of child neglect, do to a nosy neighbor calling the police when she noticed a 9 yr old girl playing in the park unsupervised.
NORTH AUGUSTA, SC — A mother has been arrested and thrown in jail on charges of child neglect because her 9-year-old daughter was found playing at a park by herself.
It might sound like a reasonable, normal place for an American kid to spend a summer day. That is, until busybody neighbors and overzealous government agents arbitrarily decided that it is abusive.
Debra Lynn Harrell, 46, was arrested by the North Augusta “Department of Public Safety” — charged with unlawful neglect toward a child, according to WFXG, when someone reported that the girl had been hanging out there playing by herself for a few hours.
