[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In the late 1960s and early 1970s (my experience and my partner's experience). Also in the late 1930s (my parents' experience). Is that specific enough?[/quote] No, it's not. In those days, kids moved in packs, did they not? They weren't in pairs in urban settings. Even back in the 1930s or 1960s a 6 yo wandering around alone or with just a slightly older sibling would attract attention. You're romanticizing something that isn't there. [/quote] I spent a lot of time wandering around in the 1970s with my brother who was two years older. We didn't attract any attention. I also didn't attract any attention when I walked home from school by myself.[/quote]
