Oh I remember that! I was incredulous. My parents, not at all permissive, had me spend afternoons alone at home from when I was 8 (admittedly they paid someone to retrieve me from school and drop me off at home) and had me babysitting (for friends and family they chose, as unpaid labor, hahaha) from when I was 10. That article made me laugh.
