3.Child abuse and child neglect are serious crimes.Some U.S.1aws are designed to protect children from their very own parents.Recently,two parents who live in the state of Maryland,near Washington,D.C.,were found guilty of"unsubstantiated neglect"(未经证实的疏忽).What was their crime?The parents let their two children walk home together unsupervised (无人监管的)from a neighborhood park.The children are a 10-year old boy named Raft and his 6-year old sister Dvora.The two siblings like to play at their neighborhood park.After playing,they walk home-by themselves.And"that is a problem",says Maryland's child protective services agency.And this incident has restarted a debate in the U.S.about the amount of independence parents should give their children.
Some people object to courts telling parents how to raise their children.They also think children benefit from exploring the outside world without a lot of supervision.Raft and Dvora's parents,Danielle and Alexander Meitiv,are both trained scientists.They defend"free-range parenting."Free-range is usually a term used to describe farm animals that live uncaged.With parents,it means loosening control over your children.Danielle Meitiv explains."The idea of free-range parenting is really that your children need the freedom to explore.They need to be a1one,without parents.They learn to take risks.They learn to be independent."
But opponents say this so called"free-range parenting"can put children in danger.They say children may not be able to safely explore the world alone.They may not be able to cross the street safely.They may get lost.They could get hurt or,a parents'worst nightmare,kidnapped.
The Meitiv parents say they slowly let their two children take walks by themselves.They first made sure Rafi and Dvora knew the area well.But on December 20,2014,the two young Meitivs went farther than usual.They walked home from a park that is a little more than a kilometer away.Police officers stopped the children as they walked along a busy street.They drove the children home.What happened next came as a shock,says Alexander Meitiv,their father.
