World's Worst Mom!

Check this article out from Spiked UK about a woman who let her child take the subway alone!



Excerpt:

‘I think there are a lot of people who don’t really see these things (like riding the subway or walking to school) as risks but they aren’t letting their kids have more freedom because they get flak from their neighbours.
‘It can be the simplest, stupidest thing. One lady wrote to me about how she had to go to work early so she let her 11-year-old daughter walk across the street alone to wait at the bus stop. The other mothers waiting with their kids were outraged and this mom ended up feeling horribly guilty. But when she came across the website she thought: “This is crazy. I’ve been torturing myself because I let my daughter walk across the street on her own!” Another woman told me how a stranger walked by and admonished her because she wasn’t paying enough attention to her children playing in the yard in front of her. She was just reading her book.’
