Yeah, it's kind of unthinkable today honestly. I don't know anybody who'd just let their kids out on their own, and you'd probably get charged with neglect if you did.
A friend got in trouble for letting her kids play IN HER SUBURBAN BACKYARD without her watching them. A neighbour called the authorities.
Kids are basically treated like pets nowadays.
