Back then if a someone attempted to abduct a kid the bystanders would beat their ass instead of pull out their phones and video it.
exactly just said the same.
All neighborhoods at the locals who took care of the area, . Child molesters, druggies etc were told they were not welcomed and this was off fathers, older sons.
Now those scum have more rights than the honest folk.
We can’t say how we were raised back then to today as it is very different in most of the country.
