Parents drop off and pick up kids everywhere, all events are carefully planned and supervised by adults.
When I was a kid...(here we go)...I was out everywhere on my own all day starting at 4-years-old - we would go out and around the close neighborhood. Year by year, the horizons keep espending and getting that first bike at 6-years-old - went everywhere. And by 8-year-old, we were for sure out every day, especially in the summer, just run out the front door, be gone all day, not tell parents what you were doing or going. If you stayed around the house, they would yell at you go get the hell out of the house.
It's not like that any more, or so I hear.
So, kids are raised in an environment where they have everything done for them, under constant supervision and catering to them, not allowing them to do anything on their own.
