When I was little my mom would give me a few coins and send me to the store with a milk jug to get some milk and bread. A couple of times Every week. They would also give me a garbage bag to take out on my way there( dumpster was a few blocks away). I was not that small, may be 9 or 10. This was not in USA. Today I live 10000 miles from home on another continent speaking another language... Are these connected? Who knows. Was it dangerous? Who knows. My kids for sure will not be helicoptered over...
