Rafi and Dvora Meitiv were walking home from the park recently in Silver Spring, Maryland, when they were suddenly confronted by the police. 

“We were over here about to cross the street the two police cars pull up here, stopped, the doors opened then the whole thing started,” Rafi said. 

The Police gave the kids a warning about walking alone, put them in the car and drove them home. 

“I look out and see the police and thought, ‘Oh my God, what did they do?’” said their father Alexander Meitiv. “I asked if the children do something wrong, they said ‘no,’ I said, ‘OK, I'll take my children,’ Then I realized they wouldn't let me take them unless I promise that I will never let the children walk alone in streets” In Silver Spring, leaving anyone under age 18 is against the law.

Before the police found them, Rafi and Dvora, ages 10 and 6, said they used to run around outside and cross the street by themselves all the time. Their parents, Alexander and Danielle Meitiv, said they trust their children and want to give them the freedom to make mistakes, away from the parental safety net. 

“I'm just parenting the way I want and let the children have much freer time.” Danielle said.
