A parent who believes their child(ren) is (are) capable of intelligent thought enough to (one or more) 1. reasonably and safely travel, unsupervised, from point A to point B, 2. Play unsupervised for an unspecified period of time with parental worry. 3. Resolve their own problems without resorting to tattle-tailing, snitching, and possibly getting into and out of trouble without a real hitch. They give their children Free-Range by both loving them, but emotionally letting go of their own need to succeed as a parent as it could be tied to the happiness and success of their children.
Mary and Elizabeth are Free-Rangers. They don't meddle in their kids' playtime by being a playmate or falsely buoy them in their accomplishments by giving them a certificate of participation.

1. n. The lowest ranging staff member of Pokemon Zeo's forums, below Mods and Admins. Their primary job is to welcome new members to the forums (forming a valuable anti-anti-noob system), but they also assist in moderator functions, keeping order in the forums. Some people like to think Free Rangers are mindless tools of the administration.
