As a non-American I can't tell whether this is sarcasm.
- Gigachad 4y agoNo, there are countless shocking cases of police showing up for things like a child was playing in the front yard unattended while the parent was inside and in some cases the child was taken from the parent due to this “abuse”. Allowing a 13 year old to walk to a bus stop would be extremely high risk for having police called.
- SoftTalker 4y agoNot universally true in the US. Perhaps in some of the more uptight suburbs. Not at all true in the more rural area where I live.
- crooked-v 4y agoIt absolutely happens often enough all across the coutnry to be a serious concern for parents, and you can find plenty of news articles about it with some simple web searches.
- heavyset_go 4y agoIt doesn't just happen in uptight suburbs.
- TinkersW 4y agoI see kids wandering around my neighborhood by themself or in groups all the time, and where I grew up(rural CA), I roamed 5-15 miles away from home regularly on a bike or 4-wheeler.
