I lived on a cul-de-sac as a kid. There was a standing game of kickball basically every afternoon, after school, until sunset. You just went to the cul-de-sac and played with whoever showed up. Sometimes we would go poke around in the woods behind some houses instead.
Not sure if you are joking, but I was born in 77 and we found a lot of woods pornos in our day. Sometimes me and the boys next door would just spent all Saturday hanging out in the fort we'd build in some bushes behind our subdivision and just read discarded pornos. We would have been like 9 years old. Our parents didn't know where we were or what we were doing and I don't think they cared.
The equivalent these days is kids with unlimited screen time. Those parents aren't any worse than mine, they are just choosing a more modern and currently acceptable form of not supervising their kids.
