We do not live in the same times now as when you were a kid. The world is now full of predators who look for children alone for very sick reasons.

Actually it's not that different a world and that stuff happened in the "good old days" too. It just gets more publicity now.
And kidnapping by strangers is still incredibly rare. The vast majority of Amber Alerts and missing children are taken by one of the parents in a divorce.

There were predators in 40's as well, but usually there was only one car in the family and the mom was at home.
My children walked home from school when they were in Kindergarten.
Children today are carted everywhere. True there are few neighborhoods where you can walk to the schools, stores, ect. We are lucky to live in one.
