I know times have changed.
But have they changed so much that you are at risk of arrest for allowing your 10 year old son to walk less than a mile to town?

A mom in Georgia is speaking out about being arrested for reckless conduct after her then-10-year-old son was found walking alone.
Brittany Patterson, 41, was arrested by deputies on Oct. 30 after a witness reported "a juvenile in the roadway" who had gone into and left a nearby Dollar General store, according to a Fannin County Sheriff's Office report.
Patterson's son, Soren, now 11, was later found by deputies around one mile from the family's home. Patterson had left Soren to take another one of her children to a doctor's appointment and didn't report him missing, according to the report.
