Our neighbors work on weekends, they let the 10 year old (very mature for his age) babysit his younger sister (7). They play outside, walk the dog, and do chores. ALL WITHOUT AN ADULT. Does it sound familiar? It should, you probably did the same thing 30 years ago when we were kids.

To be fair do we really know this was said? We have one version of events, from an individual that is presenting them in a way that will make himself look good.
I am not saying it was or was not said. I am saying this individual has a blog and is obviously social media wise.
I have had dealing with Chinook security. It is, well was, one of the best run security set ups in the city.
I will also say that I let me kids "run free". I am constantly trying to find my kids in the neighbourhood when it is meal time or time to come in.
