@david@social.piconet.work @markstos@urbanists.social Most people will say stranger danger is overrated, and it is by the numbers, but I did get assaulted once and flashed innumerable times when out by myself. I still would have let you go to the park, with a little extra "stranger danger" talk. I did in fact let my son take himself to and home from middle school along a very urban corridor, so I'm not just whistling Dixie.
