wtf? Keeping kids inside unless accompanied until 10yo is a reason to call social services? It's the average where I live. There is one kid on the block that goes out, he is 7/8 and it's considered unusual and a little dangerous. You think that we should hide the world from children? You are mistaken. Danger is real, the only safe way to live within it is with due caution, not fear but caution. If you jump from a cliff you will die. If you fall over backwards on that climbing frame you could well hurt yourself seriously. It is not a parents job to shield children from the world but to teach them the skills to navigate it. In the first years of life we nurture and protect, as they become more capable we release them little by little into the world.
