You’d probably be arrested if you let your kids have that type of freedom today.
- midoridensha 4y agoMeanwhile, here in Japan, this is perfectly normal to see. Kids ride their bikes (even at night), take the subway to other parts of the city, etc., all by themselves. I can't imagine raising a kid in America these days.
- spacechild1 4y agoI am wondering what has changed? Hasn't the US actually become safer over the last decades? I am from Europe btw, so this whole issue seems completely crazy to me.
- brightball 4y agoYes, exactly. Doesn’t stop the calls.
- mcv 4y agoThe US has become safer, but also a lot more afraid.
- kevingadd 4y agoThe media and parts of the government sell a narrative that the us has become more dangerous, even though it's safer. This narrative has taken hold and allows the American public to be rallied against imaginary threats and keeps crooked people in power.
