Hmmm. I wonder if part of why we could run around with our friends unsupervised was because our parents had basically done a vibe check on the kids when they’d call us.
I know my parents a couple of times told me I couldn’t hang out with someone from school that I know they never met in person (unless they knocked on the door and I didn’t know), but they had called me at home before. Of the ones I can remember that I was told not to play with, they all got in some sort of serious trouble later on. One guy wound up with severe burns from huffing gas and smoking a cigarette at the same time. He…was not bright
My sister won’t let my nephew hang out with hardly anyone, because she doesn’t know the kids or their parents will enough to trust them. She’s not alone either. A lot of parents tend to do this. My poor nephew is gonna be super weird because of it (well, that and the 'tism)
My dad tried to prevent me from hanging out with my best friend after he picked me up at the friend’s house and happened to see a “disturbing” video playing on MTV. It was “Cuts Like a Knife” by Bryan Adams. It’s possible my father was the only human being on earth to ever be disturbed by a fucking Bryan Adams song.
