The parents are practically committing a crime if they let their kids do this.

Or any big city. Even in wealthy neighborhood.
In the suburbs you almost never see kids outside without an adult present.

- christophilus 3y agoMy neighborhood has kids roaming freely through it. The little biker gangs are total hoodlums. For context, I’m in suburbia in South Carolina.
- rayiner 3y agoI’ve lived in wealthy neighborhoods in a bunch of cities (Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, Baltimore, DC) and you barely see kids period, much less ones running around unsupervised.
- cafard 3y agoDuring the pandemic lock-down, I walked around my neighborhood once or twice a day (a Washington, DC, neighborhood nearly all of free-standing houses). I constantly saw kids out playing minimally supervised--i.e. Mom or Dad might have looked out the window every half hour, but Mom and Dad weren't out with them. I still see boys throwing baseballs or footballs in the street not far from here.
