Seems less to do with cars and more to do with citizen/government stupidity:
"It's not quite a mile from his house."
Looks like Georgia DOES have a "Reasonable Childhood Independence" law...

'anything' could have happened if he'd stayed home too. 'Anything' is a low bar. ;)
Anything can happen at the church at a higher ate than on the road lol
but this clowns never worry about that one...
In a town of 370 people? How many cars were on the road? 3?
Probably around 370 in total, but at any given moment, 3.
I live in a rural community. What scares me the most is the dumbass hicks flying around in their giant vehicles, both old and young. They’re always driving like their houses are on fire.
When I go running on country roads in spandex and sandals, the hicks in the trucks go by real friggin' slowly. Like, aggressively slowly.
Maybe they just want to objectify you for a bit, if you're in Spandex?
I assume that's the case when I cycle in rural areas in Spandex.
Here's where the problem is. The sheriff is viewing the potential for the kid to get hit by a person driving a car as the kid's fault, when of course the fault should lie completely with her person operating heavy machinery.
She needs a fucking hobby besides acting like some pedo. 100 percent if this was a man watching a kid it would be taken much differently.
Obligatory reminder: you have the right to silence in the US. Under no circumstances do you have to say anything to them, except for specific things like, "I want a lawyer," and, "Am I under arrest?"
You also have to say you are involving the 5th amendment if you are going to remain silent. There are cases where the supreme court ruled that the 5th amendment only applies if you verbally invoke it by name.
Supremely idiotic that that's the case, but it never hurts to be thorough, I guess.
It helps prevent cops from having you sectioned for laughs.
