a case for parental disinvolvement

When I was a kid, I played baseball for a summer. My mom didn't come to my games. I didn't care. I was playing baseball. It was my time. Mom was around when I was home. Now, you don't go by a playing field without seeing all the parents gathered around, cheering for their children. Seems like a good thing, but when these kids need to get a way from their parents, where do they go? Do the kids have any structured activities or do they just hang out at the mall or on the street and get in trouble?

And why are the parents there? Just because all the other parents are there? Because that's their only time with the kid? Because they're really interested?
