regarding a 7 yr old (accompanied by a 10 yr old sibling) killed crossing traffic on a pre-approved two block walk home from store.

Those charges and arrest saw vigorous defense here on DU a fairly short time ago.
Not only do we not believe in such freedoms (or parenting) here - but we are more than willing to arrest you if you do.
