๐จ#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a Virginia mother of FIVE has been CONVICTED of a crime, sentenced to 6 months in jail, and placed on the CHILD ABUSE REGISTRY for 7 years...
...because she let her 5-year-old son walk half a mile to the pond in their GATED community to collect goose feathers.
Yes, you read that right...
Her name is Karyann Parkinson and she is probably the furthest thing from an "unfit mother" you will ever meet.
She has a degree in family science. She was a family life educator. She spent three years as a live-in behavioral specialist caring for 35 troubled girls. Her husband is a family therapist.
They moved to Virginia so she could go to William & Mary LAW SCHOOL.
This past June, eight months pregnant and studying for the bar, she took her boy Sam on their usual bike ride to the pond.
When they got home, he asked to walk back for more feathers.
Just a half-mile walk home on a sidewalk with ten feet of grass between him and the road.
Two crosswalks he'd used hundreds of times, inside a gated neighborhood with 24-hour security and a 25 mph speed limit.
She said yes, and she made lunch.
A stranger saw a kid walking and called security.
The guard marched Sam home and told this 5-year-old that his mommy did something wrong
His mother says it "scared the crap out of him."
Then the guard called the cops. Then the cop called backup.
Within minutes: THREE police cars. Three officers. A security vehicle. Two CPS workers. All at one mother's front door.
For a kid walking home on a sidewalk
CPS told her husband, "a 5-year-old child can never be unsupervised."
Never. Not for one minute. Not in a gated community. Not on a sidewalk.
That is the government's position on YOUR children.
They put her on the child abuse and neglect registry.
Seven years.
They charged her with "contributing to the delinquency of a minor."
A charge meant for parents who let their kids do drugs and skip school.
Last week, a judge convicted her and she got six months in jail, suspended and a permanent criminal record.
She can likely never volunteer at her kids' school again.
She may never be allowed to practice law.
What are we doing here????
Kids used to walk to school ALL THE TIME.
I used to ride bikes with my friends until till the streetlights came on... no one ever knew where I was and it didn't matter because this WAS AMERICA.
Now a five-year-old can't walk to a pond without three squad cars and a criminal conviction for his mother???
We've criminalized childhood...
Every dad, every man should read Patrick Clancyโs 911 call transcript.
Dawson was his first son. The first son to a father is an incredible bond that only God can accurately explain.
My gut is wrenching and I cannot stop thinking about it.

Mark Levin is telling us that this is what a NAZI looks likeโฆ
For those that donโt know, thatโs Joe Kentโs deceased wife who was KIA in Syria. Those are Joeโs motherless children.
You make up your own mind on if we should listen to Mark or Joe.
Joe Kent's wife Shannon was killed by an ISIS suicide bomb in Syria in 2019. She was a Navy cryptologist with JSOC, fluent in four languages, a mother of two. He buried her at Arlington.
Then he spent 7 years turning his grief into a career fighting the wars that took her.
This is a 20-year Green Beret. 11 combat tours. CIA paramilitary. The man Trump trusted to run the National Counterterrorism Center. He's not a pundit giving takes from a studio. He knows what a flag-draped coffin looks like up close.
170,000 people liked that post in two hours. 12 million saw it. But the number that matters is two. That's how many sons are growing up without their mother because of a war just like this one.
When the person with the most skin in the game tells you it's wrong, you listen.
What I said in November still holds true, โuntil men are being walked to the jail, this is still a cover-up.โ
Transparency is an essential part of unraveling this global sex trafficking scheme, but itโs not the Department of Transparency, itโs the Department of Justice.
If you canโt take up for children who were sex trafficked, who can you take up for?
The answer: no one. Youโll defend no one if your political capital is at stake, and you need to be purged from our party.
