Parts of the U.S. are providing parents protection against this sort of thing.
Texas became the third state after Oklahoma and Utah to pass a free-range parenting bill [1] called the Reasonable Childhood Independence act.
So far this movement seems to be led by traditionally "conservative" states, while the most egregious abuses seem to be reported in traditionally "blue" states, like New York and California.
It'll be interesting to see if the trend continues, and how the issue influences politics.
