I rode my bike all around town when I was 10. No fone. Just friends when I got to the spot.
More and more 70s-90s SNL skits are coming to life for real.
First one I remember was when the Gillette Track 2 twin-bladed razor came out. The ads showed an animation of how the first blade pulls the whisker out slightly, then the second blade cuts it off, allowing what's left to snap back below the skin for a super-close shave. SNL made a parody ad for a triple-bladed razor where the second blade pulls it out even more and the third one cuts it. The slogan was: "the new Track 3 - because you'll believe ANYTHING!" Within a year there were actual triple-bladed razors.

reason #947,632 not to have children.
Volunteered at a hospital in 10th grade for community service. Walked home 2.5 miles each time, partially along an expressway. I wasn’t allowed to have a cell phone because of the evils of screens (the Nokias had just switched to color, god forbid). It would’ve been weird not to walk home and wait hours until a parent was free when I lived that close. Shoutout to the eternally on-duty 7-11 employee Ray who sold me Gatorades.
Frack that Sheriff. Should lose her job, and they should investigate who called ?
This post and posts like this should be taken with a big grain of salt.

Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It's an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.
It's much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.

Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled
Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor
Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside
She took 1/4 to the doctor
Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend's grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn't there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.
Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.
Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.
wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others
The deputy said it wasn't safe because it was a dangerous road. She said all kinds of things could have happened, including being kidnapped.
30 MPH road
Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn't have been doing.
Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling
Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy's Wheaties,
Maybe it's not the first time?
Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.
Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.

Saying that, I'd jail her for those creepy teeth. Guys that's fucking weird
