National Nonprofit "Let Grow" Celebrates New Laws Protecting Parents Who Let Their Kids Play Outside Share Article Oklahoma and Texas Pass “Reasonable Childhood Independence” Bills “Many of us have heard the stories of parents getting investigated – or even arrested – for letting their kids do something as simple as walk to the park on their own. The passing of these bills is a double-header for parents and kids,” said Lenore Skenazy, president of Let Grow. NEW YORK (PRWEB) April 30, 2021 Both Oklahoma and Texas passed “Reasonable Childhood Independence” bills on Wednesday, narrowing their neglect laws to ensure parents can let their kids play outside, walk to school, and be home alone without being accused of neglect. Let Grow, a national nonprofit promoting childhood independence, provided research and legislative resources to support the bills.
