@abc7la: A Colorado dad who climbed Yosemite's El Capitan with his seven-year-old son is speaking out. Joe Evermore revealed that someone called Child Protective Services to question his parenting abilities. He said CPS received multiple complaints, claiming he and his wife were putting their son in danger. Back in May, his son, Joey, set a record previously held by his nine-year-old brother.

While I never would have done that with my kids, mostly because we aren't climbers, but this guy, I give him props, and give his kids props too. Those kids are probably better trained in safety than normal people.

I’d say his parenting ability is pretty impressive. More impressive than Karin who called.

People would rather see kids on tablets and phones instead of enjoying nature and exploring.

I’m sure he’s training his son and takes full responsibility for what happens. it’s just not something that most people are comfortable with or know how to do themselves.

I’d argue putting a 7 y/o in front of an IPad is much more dangerous than training to go rock climbing

I can only assume that the ppl who called are helicopter parents that still do everything for their children and refuse to give their children autonomy and opportunities for confidence growth

But somehow so many neglectful parents are willing and able to slap their young children on e-bikes and social media platforms, unsupervised even. Yet these parents are the target, WAKE UP society!

There's risks being on the road in a car. They're doing awesome things and the kid is living with great memories that last a lifetime [Heartwarming]
