Would you feel comfortable nipping out while your 14 year old is still asleep in bed, leaving them home alone?

Crazy to believe but this is how idiotic society have become. My boy got followed home by a crazy woman. Because he may or may not of made a mistake at a traffic light crossing. They plastered photos of him all over the Internet. After following him for 1.5miles. The majority was saying you should of never followed him and the kid was at a crossing. But an alarming amount, started talking about how they should never be outside. He needs to learn how to cross the road, saying they shouldn't be out without an adult. I fought back and said an adult stranger shouldn't be following a child for 1.5miles. The boy in question even though smaller than the average is 10 nearly 11 and going to high school I'm Sept. It's absolutely ludicrous how people think now. These kids are going to grow up and have 0 idea about the actual world. Late January, as we always do we sent the boy and his brother who's 7, off walking to school which is 5mins round the corner. 2 quiet roads and the main school road with a lollipop lady on it. They walk every day. This 1 day, they got round the corner, heading down the quiet street. And was stopped by a very young girl police officer. She actually detained them, it was only because a friend of mine lives on the street and phoned me up. In my head I thought omg what have them 2 been doing, boys being boys. I had a 2 young children to take to nursery and a slightly older child who isn't old enough to walk with them yet. I had to run round the corner to find out what the was going on. Turns out she had stop them because they were to young to walk to school. No law, no anything but just her ideology. She said that they looked far to young and they should not be walking, she then told me that what if they was snatched off the street or their phone was robbed. I said 1 it's England, no child is getting snatched off the streets like that. Any cases of children going missing 9/10 times is by someone who knows them. They actually do not know anyone as we have 0 family. 2 just because they look young doesn't mean they are that's discrimination. 1 is going to high-school and the other is in the upper half of the school. I even went as far as to say have you even looked in the mirror, if you didn't have a police officers uniform on I'd actually think you was 15 or 16 years old. Your a small petite girl. Didn't say it as blunt as that but you get the picture. Which honestly that's what she was, diversity or not a tiny girl who looked very young for her age in a police uniform yet your stopping 2 young looking boys from getting to school, very ironic really. She even said well I'm telling you that you have to walk your children to school. I said unless there is a law that says a child cannot walk to school on their own then no I will not be walking them to school. I'm not getting parenting advice off of a 20 something year old just because you are in uniform who looks 16 themselves. I walked to school since I was 8. I'm now 40 and I've had 5 of my own children and I've been a step parent to 7 other children. All of which have walked to school. And the last part I said before I sent them on their way and I ran back home. Was all you have done now, is made 2 children late for school and made 3 other children also late and distressed at home. Thankyou for your service. Honestly it's complete madness the world we live in now. I actually feel sorry for the kids to be honest. They are either locked up at home or they go out and get judged. Because a growing minority think its helping children and it's safer when reality it is not and it's more damaging then good.
