It’s Lenore Skenazy’s latest caper and she’s not kidding. Saturday is Take Your Kids to the Park and Leave Them There Day.” She’s getting plenty of publicity, some ire, some encouragement from the public. Ah, she’s used to it. Remember what happened when she let her 10 year old ride the subway?

From the Wall Street Journal:

Lenore Skenazy has declared Saturday “Take Your Kids to the Park and Leave Them There Day.” The former New York Sun columnist gained notoriety two years ago after writing about letting her then 9-year-old son take the subway home alone. She’s now campaigning for parents of children age 7 and older to give their kids a little freedom to play.
