[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel really bad about it for my kids. I want them to go out and play freely in our neighborhood (where there is no crime at all!) but most other parents do not allow their children out unsupervised even at 10 years old. Very sad![/quote] Is this a regional thing? Is there some other city in this country where kids playing freely is still the norm? I dream of being able to provide the “Goonies” style “pack of kids having fun” that I experienced in MoCo in the 80s but not sure if that exists anywhere anymore.[/quote] Hmmm yes. When I go to Montana in the summers kids play outside in groups. Kids ride bikes. I even had 10 year old girls coming to the door wanting to sell me jewelry that they had made and no I did not know them. It feels like the 1960's 1970's era that I grew up in Maryland.[/quote]
