“That’s what it took for me to learn just what a hot-button this is, this issue of whether good parents ever let their kids out of their sight,” said the columnist on her website Free Range Kids.

Dubbed America's worst mom, Skenazy is visiting Kelowna, Salmon Arm and Kamloops this month to talk about 'free range' parenting.
