Everyone has an opinion when it comes to questions of parenting. Our Sunday newspapers seem to report on little else. New York journalist, Lenore Skenazy tells how she was labelled ‘America’s Worst Mom’ after she let her nine-year old son ride the subway home and how she fought back in the midst of a media maelstrom, by starting the movement for ‘free range kids’.

Crazy about Skenazy! The mom who has uncommon common sense.

It's interesting watching Lenore Skenazy and the video about crime and violence one after the other. It seems like me need a conversation about what kind of society we want to live in, and what role raising our children plays in that.

Lenore Skenazy is the best at understanding the situation and sees the humor. much like Bill Cosby....
