October 1, 2012 Kids, today I read a crazy story that I thought was just hilarious. A 6-year-old kid forged a note to get out of his afterschool program, and it wasn't exactly the best example of trickery out there. It doesn't look like an adult wrote that at all!
September 26, 2012 Kids, I'm the person who does the updates for our Community Calendar stuff. I hear more about that any one single thing I do here at KIX, which may or may not be a bad thing.
Last week, a Texas woman was arrested for allegedly letting her kids (ages six and nine) play in their cul-de-sac unattended. I think back to my childhood and when I was around five years old, the rule was to be home when the street lights came on. We were free to roam the neighborhood and there was an understanding that if we got out of line, someone would call our parents. Of course, this was before we decided to attempt to bubble wrap our kids.
Tammy Cooper and her husband moved to their house on a cul-de-sac in a quiet La Porte, Texas neighborhood so they would have a safe place for their nine and six-year-old children to grow up.
And Cooper thought she was reaping the benefits of her suburban lifestyle as she sat on her lawn and watched her children play on their scooters. But this tranquility was interrupted when a police car pulled in front of her home and the officer approached her. Cooper asked him what he was here for. "We're here for you," he responded.

Raising children and what to let them see and hear is a highly personal issue. Some don't filter what their kids see at all, while others won't let them watch certain movies and TV shows, listen to certain music, or play particular video games. I'm one for a happy medium.
