I remember growing up and playing outside with my younger brother. We had a swing set and a fenced backyard. Once our ‘chores’ were done, we were both outside playing in the yard. Would you believe that a mom from Manitoba is in trouble with Child Services for letting her children ages ten, five, and two play outside unsupervised?!
The children were outside (in the fenced in backyard) while mom, Jacqui Kendrick, was inside. CTV News reported that a complaint had been issued to Children and Family Services (CFS) and an investigation was launched.
