my eight-year-old daughter is walking to school alone unsupervised I approached her mother that I did not like her walking to school alone given yes the school is about half a mile away from our house but it’s more dangerous for an eight-year-old to be walking and crossing streets unsupervised Mother responded she has her on FaceTime and if anything by her taser is there any legal way I could get her to stop having the child walking to school alone before something happens
