Reason's Lenore Skenazy was interviewed on ABC's 20/20 about helicopter parenting and the rush to lock up people who leave their kids alone for even short amounts of time in relative safety. As Skenazy told reporter Elizabeth Vargas:

"We've created a culture where we've almost deliberatley confused people as to what constitutes a danger. We really think that the minute a parents leaves the car, if the car is unattended for any moment at all, a child dies."

The whole segment, "Parents Become Subject of Hot Car Witch Hunt," is well worth watching. Head on over to Free Range Kids to check it out.
