I just asked my spouse about how you let a 5-year old go bike riding on his own? Answer, it's done all the time in the "country." Sorry folks, but rural American just ain't what it used to be.

This is so sad. My heart goes out to the parents.

...well, okay. I never actually let them. But, when they got into junior high school, they learned how to escape. So, I figured that was about the right time to cut them some slack.

By the way, is there a link to an article about this five-year old?
