A new poll has found that many Americans think that it should be illegal for kids under 9 years old to play outside by themselves.

While 82% of those polled agreed with the idea of a law, 63% took a step farther and felt that the age of 12 was still too young to be playing unsupervised.

Do you agree? Or is that just stupid? -Alan
