> Well, we used to live in a world where parents weren't terribly anxious about what their young (<10) kids were up to, letting them go play out in the neighbourhood for hours while unsupervised to what we have now in Anglo countries (the complete opposite).
We still have that completely outside of America. In both the UK and Germany children play unsupervised and use the public transport without issue.
