I Could Go Wherever I Wanted

Leaving small children at home unattended and letting kids roam the neighborhood with little to no supervision. Since I can remember, I was trusted to walk or bike anywhere and play in the creeks nearby, even without friends.
As I got older, my adventures got bigger, sometimes ending up somewhere I would have to ask directions back home. Nowadays, it seems like parents are severely cautious over their children and set themselves up for the kids turning to screens to stay entertained.
