Brittany Patterson, 41, said the road her son walked in Fannin County, Georgia was not ‘even dangerous at all’

On Oct. 30, while Patterson had taken another one of her kids to a doctor’s appointment, her son Soren left the family’s home in Mineral Bluff, Ga., and went into town, according to the outlets. Patterson was notified when the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office called her to tell her where her son was.

Brittany Patterson was arrested for reckless conduct after her nearly 11-year-old son was found walking alone near their home. Her charges have sparked outrage online.
