[@Novusod]

Serious legal answer here: The US supreme court actually says it is not their job to make you safe. However, this story isn't even about crime. The reason it is unsafe for a child to walk to town is because of cars. Kids generally don't have the situational awareness to not get run over. Though the age a child is able to cross a busy street alone is debatable. A ten year old is borderline in the gray zone stuck between being cognizant enough to know the danger of cars yet not being experienced enough to know when it safe to cross. However, every child is different. Some will become competent enough to cross the street at a much younger age than others. It is really up to the parents to decide when that age is appropriate. If I were the judge I would throw the case out. The cops clearly over reacted. The kid was safe so no harm was done. Endangerment laws are only on the books if the child gets injured the police can arrest the parents for being stupid. The general rule of common law is if there is no victim then there is no crime. There is no plaintiff in this case thus it should be thrown out.

In arresting her for reckless conduct, they are only outing themselves. The law states “…by consciously disregarding a substantial and unjustifiable risk that his or her act or omission will cause harm or endanger the safety of the other person…” meaning that the cops here in this 370 person town, cannot keep it safe enough for a 10/11 year old to walk less than a mile by himself, meaning the cops here (no surprise) are essentially useless. Examples of this charge is usually leaving a infant in a hot car where there WILL BE (as the law states) a dangerous situation, not COULD BE, playing the “what if” game, such as “What if he was hit by a car” or “What if he was kidnapped”, having no actual evidence to suggest these things would happen.

[@Treblaine]

Did they have an arrest warrant issued by a court? Because if the cops arrested them on the idea that "oh this is so obviously illegal I just can't risk you abandoning your home to escape, I need to arrest you right now" just rings false. The police power of arrest is primarily limited to arrest warrants issued by a court, and it is an EXCEPTION to arrest anyone in any other circumstance, i.e. when there's no ambiguity it's a crime. This seems like an obvious example of "well, this isn't obviously illegal so... I'm going to defer this to the DA's office to see if they want to press charges".

@DSplatter If they don't understand it then why are they acting on it? Why don't they just report this to a judge or prosecutor to see if it's worth issuing an arrest warrant? Cops know exactly where the supposed suspect lives, they aren't going to suddenly move out of town and disappear to cause trouble somewhere else.
