> I've been detained by police under suspicion of "kidnapping" for taking my kid to the park (my kid is a different "race" as me so it was "suspicious"). On another occasion my kid was interrogated because they were walking home from school on our own property, and someone wondered "why they were alone."

And this is why I pay an arm and a leg to live in Seattle.

Kids here are running around outside playing soccer in the streets with parents watching guard for cars at the ends of the block.

Mixed race is not even noteworthy here.

Kids walk to/from school (up to a mile) all the time. Huge groups of kids walk together every day.
