means letting your kid walk to school? From the New York Times:

TO get to school, the child leaves home by herself, proudly walking down the boulevard in a suburb of a small city in upstate New York. The crossing guard helps her at the intersection. She lives only a block and a half from school. Yet she walks by older children waiting with parents for buses to the same school.
She is 7, a second-grader, and her mother, Katie, hears the raised-eyebrow remarks: “ ‘Are you sure you want to be doing this?’ ” Katie said friends ask.
“ ‘She’s just so pretty. She’s just so … blond.’ A friend said, ‘I heard that Jaycee Dugard story and I thought of your daughter.’ And they say, ‘I’d never do that with my kid: I wouldn’t trust my kid with the street,’ ” said Katie, a stay-at-home mother, who asked that her full identity be withheld to protect her children.
Katie, too, is tormented by the abduction monsters embedded in modern parenting. Yet she wants to encourage her daughter’s independence. “Somehow, walking to school has become a political act when it’s this uncommon,” she said. “Somebody has to be first.”

Being a parent is terrifying, with or without Greta’s show. I don’t know the neighborhood and I don’t know when Katie should walk to school. But at some point, blonde or not, her mom knows she’s going to have to be on their own. Will she be ready? Sounds like she’s on the right road. And that raises eyebrows?
