My kids walk — with me or my wife.
Sorry, it’s not safe anymore.

It never was. I was attacked by bullies all of the time. And even back then, there were numerous warnings about strangers offering candy.
I'd be about as likely to let a kid walk to school today in the same town I did. I would just make sure the kid had pepper spray and some pretty specific instructions about what to do if.

In our city of 2.2 miles, the parents had to fight to keep crossing guards for the kids.
I’m a homeschooling mom and fought with them. We have no sidewalks and people drive like maniacs. AND we’ve had a couple kids approached by “adults”.
If my kids walked to the school, I’d be walking with them.

She lives only a block and a half from school. Yet she walks by older children waiting with parents for buses to the same school. Okay, so a parent waits with the child at the bus stop rather than just walking with them a block and a half? This really doesn't make any sense and sounds like an exaggeration, a hallmark of a poorly thought-out non-story.

Sorry, its not safe anymore. I don't know about that. I'm of the opinion that there were just as many pervs back in the sixties and seventies (when I grew up) as there are now. The difference is that nowadays kids have been better educated about reporting it. It's kinda like all the female teachers being involved with their underage students. It was going on back then too, but when it happened, the teacher was quietly relocated to another school.
