when i was young had to walk or take bike to local park where they had someone there to watch kids and play small games. i was around 9 to 11 years old. also when 11 years take brother to park to play and hang out with with person over seeing kids to play at park. to me he young enough to walk to store or walk anywhere he wants. i had to watch my brother who is 6 yrs younger then me. during the summer breaks too.

Umm, at 11 I was riding my bike a hell of alot farther then that. Other then a "don't go out of town" as a guideline my parents did not know exactly where I was or what I was doing. This was the norm when. I grew up.

Yeah, that's more or less how I figured this thread would go.
