I was just thinking about this the other day. I'm only 24, but I remember, I dunno, I feel like my parents were not as concerned about someone kidnapping us from the yard as parents are today.

Example: I was babysitting my 5 year old god-daughter, the other day and it was surprisingly pretty nice out for this time of year (like 50ish and not snowing). She was complaining about being bored, so I suggeted, "Why don't you go ride your bike?"

She seriously looked at me as if I had suggested that she go cartwheeling down the middle of the freeway or something equally crazy and dangerous.

I remember my parents would let us walk to the store (like 3 blocks away and past a major street) at night with no problems (as long as there were like 3 of us). Weird. I guess times have changed.
