Yep. I was publicly shamed on a Facebook group because I let my 11 year old walk to school. We lived a twenty minute walk to the school through well lit residential streets. She had a phone for emergencies and is a smart kid but someone took her photo to shame me for allowing it

Every year K-3 we charted how we got to school. Options: Walk, Bike, Car, School Bus. In K, it was pretty even. 1st started skewing to Car, 2nd even more, and 3rd the teacher said "I don't understand this!" It was 1986-1989 and we went down to 0 walking/bike.

I honestly still wonder how much of my misery as a child/teen was that I was kept inside and believed that everywhere was too far to walk. When I visit my hometown now, I realize that it was FINE.

I watched a great documentary on this that showed the difference response to stranger danger in the US to Japan.

I would be really interested in watching that. Do you remember the title?

My kids are 12 & 9 and on the verge of complete walking to school independence. The US eternal supervision requirements are a nightmare I escaped.

The first time I let my son walk home from school - he was 9 - the mom of one of his friends followed him home in her car.

NYC - totally different. Our kids started taking subway alone to school in middle school, which is the norm here. Kids can have more independence earlier here bc they don’t need to be driven around everywhere.

I've definitely seen this shift over 40+ years in Staten Island. I walked 6 blocks to my kindergarten class. At age 13, my friend's daughter had to be driven 2 blocks to school.
