Lenore Skenazy's April 1, 2008 column in The New York Sun described her giving the controversial advice of letting her 9-year-old son take the New York City subway home alone [2], and unleashed a flood of reactions ranging from accusations of child abuse to fond memories of first-time subway trips. The story was covered on MSNBC [3] two days after the column appeared.
