I also was raised long ago and we wandered freely and even played on the railroad tracks. Different day and time, I despise the Cps groupies, but would ask what kind of neighborhood they live in? There are a lot of perverts out there and Children can be picked up quickly never to be seen again. Do I think this is any business of CPS absolutely not, but do have those questions in my mind 6 and 10, now days are perfect targets.
My first question was where do they live? But I guess they can’t make rules for some neighborhoods and not others. Of course, the pansies will enforce their rules in good neighborhoods and on good parents because it is easier and more politically correct.
Better to let parents use their own sense of safety for their kids.
I have never seen any actual evidence that children are at greater risk from predators than in the past. Predators have always existed, but we have an unspoken and unexamined assumption in our society that children are at greater risk than in the past.
I’ve been trying to find such evidence for about 10 years without success.
