I used to walk to school, about 4 blocks, alone in Grade 1 and with my younger brother from Grade 2 onwards. Then, after school, we'd let ourselves in the house (nobody home 'till 5), then run back outside and around the field/playground, completely unsupervised. Now I walk past the playground in Sunalta near my place on the way home every day, and I have never - NEVER - seen a kid in there playing.

PS: Nothing bad ever happened to me despite my parents' neglect, and I made $5 every Friday from this nice old man who wanted me to pet his ferret. Weird thing was, he kept it in his pocket.
