Despite her outward confidence in the safety of their new city, the mother discreetly used a camera to monitor his progress, both to ensure his safety and to highlight how secure the area truly was, as shown by @themomtrotter.
In her words:
“You moved from America to Italy it and finally feel comfortable letting your 11 year old walk to school by himself without freaking out. I am at peace, my mind is at ease and my stress is zero to none when it comes to letting my child be independent abroad. For the record, I would not feel comfortable letting my Black son walk around by himself in the U.S. and especially not in the evening time. Raising a child in the U.S. scares me and raising a Black Boy in the U.S. especially scares me a lot. I feel a lot more comfortable letting him walk around our little town here. It was the same when we were in Greece, he’d be gone out playing with friends and would come back home late (9.30pm/10pm etc) and I didn’t freak out. Kids can walk around and get on the bus or the train by themselves and more!”
