Hell, I used to bike and walk to school a couple miles away by myself starting in first grade. This is a community that is basically all pavement next to the only major road into or out of the town that is always busy. There are gradients in circumstances and what is reasonable, is my point. We ought not be too rigid nor naively permissive.
