Traffic and perverts.
Wouldn’t be as much traffic if it wasn’t for moms driving their kids to school, and there have always been paedos, we just used to trust kids to have the common sense not to go into cars with strangers.
the pervert part is pure fallousy. Propagated by TV and the news sensationalized reporting of a very rare crime. yes it happens but millions of kids DON’T get abducted everyday. Getting hit by a dumbass speeding and texting is more likely. which is why The law needs to come down harder on texting and driving. and speeding in residential areas.
Yep.
Also, liability/litigation.
No, parental fear of traffic and perverts.
The same reason why kids aren't allowed to play alone at the park anymore.
An irrational fear of a pervert snatching the unsuspecting young 'un from the swing set.
Absolutely! We have had an attempted abduction at my grandson's school last year and we live in a higher income area. No area is absolved from these freaks!
...and bureaucrats and unions.
