I know that things have changed since I was a kid in the 80s and suburban parents are no longer happy sending their kids outside to roam the streets unsupervised.
But surely even back in the day, parents wouldn't have sent young children to hang out unsupervised in Central Park?
- stephancoral 10y agoThe first time I rode the subway without an adult I was 10 or so. I had my little brother with me and he was about 6. We went to Prospect Park pretty often. This was the early eighties.
