Lenore Skenazy redux

Lenore Skenazy lät sin då nioårige son ta sig hem från Manhattan på egen hand, vilket resulterade i medialt gatlopp, där hon bland annat kallades USA:s sämsta mamma.

I samma ickekollektivistiska skola har Marie Myung-Ok Lee låtit sin nioårige autistiske son nyttja marijuana (med läkarlicens) och skrivit två uttömmande och mycket läsvärda artiklar om det (1, 2) - ur Why I Give My 9-Year-Old Pot, Part II:

(“White Russian”—a favorite of cancer patients, who also need relief from extreme pain). Free from pain, J. can go to school and learn. And his violent behavior won’t put him in the local children’s psychiatric hospital—a scenario all too common among his peers.
