ET sits down with Lenore Skenazy who some are calling "the world's worst mom," after she felt comfortable letting her 9-year-old son ride the New York City subway alone.
"I gave him a Metro card and a map and money for emergencies and I said goodbye," Lenore told ET. "I went one way and he went the other."

After her story made national news, Lenore is now hosting a show called World's Worst Mom on the Discovery Life Channel airing Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
"It's a fantasy that children are in constant danger," Lenore said. "Every child does not need a bodyguard."
On the show, she tries to help helicopter parents give their kids more freedom. In one episode, she helps 10-year-old Sam get from under the protective wing of his mother, who does everything for him from cutting his food to giving him baths.
