It's all part of a "free-range kids" bill signed by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert last week. The law, which specifies it is not neglectful to let children wander independently, will take effect May 8. An age limit was purposely not defined, but the law says children left alone should display maturity and good judgment.
Children who are left to wander
Have a lot of time to ponder
Why adults don’t wander too --
Since work is such a bugaboo.
If not for this unholy grind
That makes me want to lose my mind
I too would amble like a child
And drive the neighborhood quite wild.
If drifting children only knew
How lucky they are to pass through
Times when they can just meander,
Unlike drudges or bystander!
