Talk about free range. I'm reading a biography called Bud & Me, about two brothers in the early 1900's who rode across two states by horseback when they when they were 5 and 9. When they were 6 and 10 they rode from Oklahoma to New York by themselves.
They almost drowned, an angry donkey chased them, and robbers tailed them for a few days to make sure no bad guys got them.
The country didn't reprimand their dad for being an irresponsible parent, instead the kids were treated like hero's and every town had a parade for them.
Crazy how different just a few generations can make? My friend is a 911 operator and says she gets calls all the time because kids are playing outside. It is ridiculous.
