So, interesting anecdote here.
I take a transit bus to work. There is an elementary school on the route, and last few years there would be the occasional small schoolaged child that would go to that school that would take the bus. Think grade 3 or 4, I think.
Funniest thing is, that everyone on the bus was looking out for these kids. If the kid dropped her mitten - someone would grab it for her and make sure she didn't forget it. If she fell asleep, and it would be her stop, someone would wake her up.
It felt good knowing that these parents still would let their child take the bus, and not be afraid of the rest of us that were on the bus with the kid, and it also felt pretty good seeing how everyone had the kids best interest at heart.
