“Help! My boys were stopped three times by police for being outside unsupervised” - Salon.com

"Several months ago, youngest son (age 6) was accosted by an officer for riding his bicycle on the sidewalk in front of our house (our block is three houses wide — he was riding from one end of the block to the other). The officer told my husband, who was home at the time, that our son wasn’t allowed to play on the sidewalk ‘without supervision.’ He had apparently received a call from a ‘concerned citizen’ who had seen him riding."
