Meanwhile six year olds in Japan take the train and/or subway to school all alone, 12 year olds in vietnam ride electric scooters on 60 kph roads to get to school, and I met a chinese 16 year old crossing vietnam by motorbike all by himself.
I haven’t seen them cutting anyone off, mostly playing on the sides of 2 lane roads with traffic or on 3 lane median roads during low traffic.
Did see a group of kids on the e-mopeds in China doing wheelies, I have no idea how you wheelie a bike without a clutch, and some kids flying up hiking trails like it was nothing in vn. It’s kinda shocking how skilled some of them are.
I’m american lol no the fuck you don’t see 6 year olds taking public transit by themselves. My nephew’s school won’t even let 11 year olds walk home by themselves.
Shitty rich people have sued most public schools into absurd levels of restriction. Its a nightmare when idiots are allowed to pay to be told they are legally correct by another idiot in a black robe.
My parents did that to me as well until one day when I was like 6. I kept trying to get inside to cool off and my mom kept telling me it was too nice out to be indoors until eventually I threw up and passed out.
Yeah sadly my wife was pretty anxious about our kids being out unattended, I ended up having to get a gps device for my youngest so that he could be the little extrovert that he is. I blame the news for all the panic.
Now we have the opposite problem. Parents expect to GPS track their kids 24/7 and they probably aren’t allowed outside in the first place

They’re becoming a massive problem in the Netherlands.
All of these things happen in the US too. This country is massive and incredibly varied.

My brother and i weren’t allowed inside the house if it was a nice day outside.

I wouldn’t want to have gen X or millenials as parents, boomers were bad enough.
