Three months ago, a mother took one child to the doctor. While at the
doctor, her 10 year old son, left home alone, walked a mile to the
store. Now, he didn't have her permission but it wasn't a big deal for
the mother as her son hadn't gone anywhere he wasn't familiar with.

The cop that showed up at the house arrested her for reckless
endangerment, stating that it was illegal (in Georgia) for a 10 year old
to walk alone.

Finally, prosecutors decide not to proceed but charges are dropped
WITHOUT prejudice, which allows them to be refiled again within two
years of the incident.
