        I'm so glad I grew up to be free and wild outside, with no adults supervising me for hours each day while I roamed the city, parks, libraries, swimming pools, downtown... with siblings & friends; that I skated outside alone after dark until dinner on my double-bladed ice skates..

        Most of the boring and overcautious adults I've met were over-protected as children, locked away under constant supervision and stringent rules. Their entire lives were "No!" - can't do this, can't do that, you might get hurt, it's dangerous. They never lived, the walking dead..

        We live in a country where many bad things happen. It's neither strange nor weird it's reality for the times.

        We live in a country where FEWER bad things happen compared to all past years, but since we are overexposed to each bad thing we live like danger is everywhere. It is not.

        Well said, @AngeliqueR! I would also add that we have far more safeguards (tech, training children on stranger-danger, etc.) now than we did when I was a child and was allowed to "roam free." The media knows that alarming people draws viewers/$.

        We are our own worst enemy—it’s not clickbait if we don’t click. Algorithms that promote what is “popular” to encourage viral posts and maximize ad revenue are the true source. *cough cough* #ZUCKERBERG

        We let our 9yo ride her bike to/from soccer practice (<1 mile, skilled mtn biker, all roads 25 mph). Every Single Practice a parent called to see if she needed a ride & Every Single Practice a parent followed her home with their car (<not creepy at all 😬)

        My kid’s basketball coach called out his commitment to ‘ride his scooter to practice every day even though his parents wouldn’t give him a ride’ at the award ceremony. It’s 5 blocks away. 👍

        As a physician with interest in pediatrics, I would suggest that caretakers shud always keep children under their eyes. It is their primary duty.

        Parents don’t parent this way because they want to - police are called when an 8 year old goes to the park alone. A 9 year old takes the subway and its news. In DE last summer, kids were removed from the home by CPS because Mom left them at home alone to pick up a pizza.

        It’s easy to pearl clutch and judge parents these days, but consider the 24/7 news cycle convincing everyone they are about to be kidnapped coupled with a population empowered to intervene/call the police on any kid issue. Look at backlash the Free Range parent author received.

        We're enmeshed in fear 24/7/365. Scared of the unknown, unknowable and the outside world. We gave up our freedom because someone told us it was easier than living with it.
