The bill focuses on civil cases, not criminal ones, and doesn’t change the high bar for prosecuting child endangerment. A recent Virginia case where a mom was convicted for letting her 5-year-old walk alone to get feathers sparked national debate, highlighting how blurry the line is between childhood freedom and neglect. The Ohio bill leaves age and time decisions to each situation, aiming to give kids more room to grow without parents living in fear of legal consequences. It passed the Senate unanimously and now heads to the House Judiciary Committee. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
