Why Letting Your Kid Walk Home Alone Could Land You in Jail

Published

2 minute read

From StosselTV

A mother was ARRESTED for letting her 8-year-old son walk half a mile home. Prosecutors said she put her kid “in imminent danger of death.” Really?

The police argued it is too dangerous for a kid to walk alone in his own neighborhood. The data show otherwise. Being in a car is 200 times more dangerous than the risk of getting kidnapped. There are only about FIVE stranger abductions per year, according to: https://www.missingkids.org/content/d… In contrast, traffic deaths averaged 2,386: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/reports/?o=MO…

Lenore Skenazy, author of “Free Range Kids,” points out that irrational fear makes parents and authorities overreact, and keep kids from going out and learning about the world. For the full story, you can watch our video here.

Green Energy Needs Minerals, Yet America Blocks New Mines

Published on

From StosselTV

We’re told we need more minerals for EVERYTHING, especially “green” energy. But America regulators and environmental groups keep KILLING new mines!

 “Why in the world would you put billions of dollars at risk to get a permit? Knowing they’ll just cancel a permit!” Physicist Mark Mills writes about the absurd regulations in the mining industry, “You’re going to be waiting, not months, not years, but the record shows decades.” America used to lead the world in producing minerals. Now we rank next to last in the time it takes to develop mines. How did this happen? Because rich environmental groups hate mines. They run deceitful ads and even collude with government to block mines. The video above explains some of the many reasons why this is a BIG problem.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

The Crisis Industry: How Activists Profit from Panic

Published on

From StosselTV

Pollution, homophobia, racism, hate; activists claim everything is getting worse. The opposite is true. But if they admit that how would they raise money?

“For activists, success is a threat,” journalist John Tierney explains. “It is going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”

Tierney has covered activists for years and watched them move from one cause to another. “But it’s not a business,” I push back. “They’re not making money doing this.” “Oh, yes, they are,” replies Tierney. Lots!

Our new video looks at how these activist groups raise billions of dollars, the consequences of their activism, and why we fall for their scares.
