Ditto. I can still picture in my head exactly the route I walked to school in first and second grade.LOL! They were walking home from a park less than a mile from home. One of the first things my kids learned is to recite their address and find their way home from anywhere in the neighborhood.They may have been that close, but did the kids know their address?Kids were three blocks from home
Initial response from the police should be to drive the kids home and speak to the parents
we're only getting one side of this story and i suspect that it's incomplete.
At 10 years old? Thats fifth grade
You think a kid doesn't know where he lives?
I still remember the address and phone number from where I lived when I was five years old and that was over 50 years ago. That is how firmly it was drilled into my head
I walked to school in first and second grade also
I also knew every backyard, hole in the fence, back alley and driveway that I could take to get there faster
