[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand this is illegal now and not advocating doing it,  just curious....didn't we all do this as kids? What happened that made the world so much more dangerous?[/quote]
My boomer mom was infamous for "I'm just running in for eggs and milk" and an hour later coming back with a cart overflowing with groceries, we could have walked home multiple times in that one hour [/quote]

It comes down to whether or not you believe there is more crime now or not. My Boomer mom always talks about how things were safer “back then” with kids roaming the streets, riding the bus, little parental supervision and nobody worried about crime. People are crazier now and people barely know their neighbors. Trust is at a low point and people demonstrate that keeping a short leash on their kids.[/quote]

Statistically there is way less crime now than there was when we were kids. This is especially true in cities but extends to suburbs. Certainly true in the DMV. [/quote]
