Free-range kids

In this episode of Over the Hedge from last Fall, the artists Michael Fry & T. Lewis comment on the "Free-range Kids" movement.  Other cartoonists have made similar commentaries about too much adult supervision:

• GPS monitoring of children in Wales
• GPS supervision of children driving
• And then there's the recent news that iPhones might have been sending users' locations back to some corporate home base. 

There's even an instructional book.
