I agree with you on this, especially considering that
Izzy is a girl's name (Diminutive form of Isabel), and the child in question is a boy.

I played 8 years of soccer and I hated every minute of it.

I agree, I had plenty of freedom as a kid to play in the neighborhood. I managed to stay out of trouble, and never was a victim of child abuse. I really don't have a problem with him riding the subway alone. If a criminal were to victimize him, the blame should lie at the feet of the criminal, not his mother.
