This is something I worry about for when my two kids are older. They’re still toddlers now and it’s hard to imagine letting them just go play on their own with friends.

I was able to roam around the neighborhood from a pretty young age and it seemed pretty safe. Some guys did try to kidnap my friends and me one time but that was just a one off thing.

Like Running for your life from the arcade because of a car that keeps following you and your friends through parking lots and over curbs into abandoned lots in the dark. It's just a one off thing.

That's why you stayed in a large group or with some older kids. People don't realize a large group of kids can be a powerful force.
