The Meitivs are a family living in Silver Spring, Maryland that became a subject of public controversy in 2015 for allowing their children, ages 6 and 10, to go to and from a local park on their own, and for two encounters with government authorities who accused the Meitivs of neglect for this reason.

Debate

The Meitiv's parenting style has been described as "free range parenting," although Danielle has disputed that label, saying, "It's just parenting, period. I did it as a kid. My parents did it."[2]

The encounters between the Meitivs and the government have led to a passionate debate among parents and educators.[2]
