FWIW this doesn't happen in more urban neighborhoods as much. I live in Brooklyn and there are (well, "were" since summer ended) kids of all school ages roaming around and playing in the park with little to no supervision.
- Zach_the_Lizard 10y agoI live in Long Island City (a neighborhood in NYC for those not from the area - it's in Queens) and I see many children, but few that are unattended, despite the very low crime rate. Of course, LIC is full of well off yuppies, so perhaps the demographics are the reason.
- sotojuan 10y agoI don't know much about Queens, but I mentioned Sunset Park because it's a working class, immigrant neighborhood. If LIC's demographics are similar to say, Brooklyn Heights, then I expect paranoid behavior from parents.
