Utah governor signs law legalizing 'free-range parenting'
A lot of posts in this thread are not understanding the point of the law. Sentiments such as:<p>"Why need a law? Just let your children be free and independent. They need that."
"If anyone threatens to call CPS on me I'll tell them to fuck off."<p>That's why the law is needed! Currently, in a lot of jurisdictions, do either of those two things and your kids can arbitrarily be taken from you, legally, by the government.<p>This law makes it so that allowing children normal independence <i>is legal</i>. Because slowly administrative agencies started to take a stricter view on what was "safe".
