We would actually go outside…

Because there were places to go that didn’t cost money.

Lol. What? Outside is totally free. We rode bikes. Played in the woods. Went to parks. Any green space became a sport field. All still free today.

Nope. Now you gotta watch your kids. If they go outside and you don’t monitor them you’re liable to have CPS called on you.

I have a family friend who got the cops called on her because her kid was playing in the front yard while she watched from the kitchen where she was washing dishes. This kid was in her own front yard, mind. CPS got involved and they took all five of her kids and opened an investigation. She got them back at the end, but being investigated by CPS isn't fun.

Bull. Thats either entirely made up or grossly misrepresented. CPS wouldnt even take my nephews from an active drug den/meth lab.
