We all grew up in a totally different world!
I'm 78. I walked the three miles to town and
back when I was 7 and 8. No problems.
My kids walked to school and home for years.
Walked wherever they needed to go. No problems.
My Grandkids walked eveywhere or got rides
to the shopping centers. No problems.
My GREATKIDS play on our residential street
and at the park a block away. We do NOT live
in a slum area. There are at least 15
registered sex predators within 8 blocks of
my home, two living across the street from
the park and 4 within two blocks of the school.
My Greatkids have phones!
Don't advise me to call the police. They
know exactly who and where everybody is.
Nothing they can do about it.

What the hell? How'd that happen?
I reported the same situation to the police in my parents neighborhood. The told me the sex offenders were well within their rights to live close to the elementary school. I hung up on the cop.
