Remember the Mom who got into trouble because watching the neighbors kids at the bus stop was against the law?

That drama played out here in my neck of the woods - and here is the happy update to it!

Good news! But how on earth did I miss that this happened in Middleville (I read the earlier reports)? That's where my in-laws live!

That's nice to hear. Of course, the story was all over the news, even the national morning programs, but this solution won't be. I really can't stand that about the media - there's never any follow-through.

Common sense rules when a LAW was needed in order to allow it??

The common sense part is that the legislature is actually conceding that this happens, instead of blindly enforcing the law that existed before the incident.
