Judge asked exactly what I was thinking. A 6 year old should not be outside alone. A child a few years ago who was 3 was kidnapped, drugged and killed. She was kidnapped by a woman and man right outside the projects

[@lakyraturner6047]

Well a few more years ago playing outside especially in certain neighborhoods were super safe and all the neighborhood kids were outside. I remember them days

[@bethcarico7549]

Kids can be abducted at any age. Hell, grown women are abducted and kidnapped every single day. Age has little to do with it. Even if the kid is 10-12 years old, they still need to be supervised when out in the yard where there are streets nearby, or while out on the sidewalk, etc. 6 is way too young to be outside alone!

[@Angela-hk5io]

My sister and I was almost kidnapped and this was in a nice neighborhood in the late 80's. Luckily my dad was watching us closely and saw what was about to happen.

My 7 year old does not go out alone. Either I'm with him, or another trusted adult is. WTF is wrong with that lady?!

[@KylaHaynes-g7t]

[@innocentBystander19]

Parents please don’t punish your kids for telling the truth.

[@aliciamckenzie2953]

I'm surprised JM didn't call the management company to inquire about an eviction and if other incidents like this have happened. That would have either supported or torn down Mom's credibility.

[@sandylane5498]

That's exactly what I thought she was gonna do, and i'm so disappointed that she didn't.

[@BTURNER1961]

The problem is that the case does not hinge on the mom's credibility about a non-material fact. Its not about whether she is telling the truth. Its not about whether apt management has had prior episodes involving these four kids being unsupervised and doing property harm. The case is about this boy, and this incident and there is zero evidence brought before the court that he cratched the car. The only direct testimony comes from the boy and it points to a 7 year old he names.

Bet mom is the type of parent to say " i didn't let my kid go out alone his 11 year old sister is watching him" 🥴 got a bunch of kids and parents like that where my parents live, multiple family members live at different apartments in the complex. One time they sent all their kids out with the oldest being 9 then four 3 year olds, a 2 year old and a 1 year old (barely walking) all those kids for a single 9 year old to watch and keep track of. Did she do that? Yes but how she did it was telling all of the younger kids to "wait by a busy road for cars, then run out or jump out onto the street to see which cars stop" i actually heard her say it, she saw me watching & immediately walked away quickly from all the little kids.We had to call non-emergency police to came down & speak with the parents who said to him "but they weren't alone the 9 year old was watching them" 🥴 same kids also were told to throw rocks at my parents window and try to hit our beloved black cat, same 9 year old too & again as soon as she saw they were being watched she took off then lied to her parents when we confronted them. Point being kids arent the brightest and dont recognize danger or understand consequences for bad actions, its up to the parents to teach them, unfortunately like the parents at the complex this mom is too lazy and focused on her stuff to bother watching her kids. I HATE the excuse of "we live in a good neighborhood" 🥴 well ma'am John wayne gacy's neighbors thought the same thing! Watch ur kids!
