Her son is already under supervision whereever he goes, under the intellectual instructions taught and observed by him of adults, his mom and dad, siblings, and friends and classmates. There's a fucking community of supervision yet CPS is jealous because they weren't invited. Either that or the security company overpaid for the 24-hour video surveillance. Is the HOA community really concerned about child safety and welfare? Really? Remember, it's leafy Williamsburg, Virginia.
While the judge immediately suspended the sentence, pending good behavior and compliance with CPS' conditions, the conviction remains.
Virginia Mom Gets 6-Month Suspended Jail Sentence for Letting 5-Year-Old Walk to the Pond https://t.co/2L67I3FlZd via @reason

Freedom and trust in your neighbors is prohibited in the U.S.?
Reason covers the story.
The cops, meanwhile, charged her with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. CPS found the allegations substantiated and placed Parkinson on the state's child abuse and neglect registry. She will remain there for seven years.
The ordeal reached its nadir last week when a judge convicted Parkinson of the delinquency of a minor charge, a first-degree misdemeanor. This comes with a six-month jail sentence.
While the judge immediately suspended the sentence, pending good behavior and compliance with CPS' conditions, the conviction remains. Parkinson assumes this means she will not be able to volunteer in her kids' schools. She fears it could also mean she will not get her law license.
Parkinson is not new to parenting. She's got 5 kids plus a degree in parenting.
Parkinson is no newbie to parenting. She graduated Brigham Young University in 2012 with a degree in family science. She then became a family life educator and spent three years as a live-in behavioral specialist at a residential treatment center. There, she and her husband, a marriage and family therapist, oversaw the care of 35 girls.
Plus this,
In Virginia, Parkinson spent one summer interning at the Institute for Justice and another working in the law office of former Virginia state Sen. Jill Vogel (R–Winchester). Vogel was actually co-sponsor of the reasonable childhood independence law that passed in Virginia, unanimously, in 2023.
All this to say that she's got character references that should have been taken into consideration before convicting her "with contributing to the delinquency of a minor."
And now she's on the state's child abuse and neglect registry.
