Our parents were not walking on eggs wondering where we were,because they knew that they didn’t have to worry.
The streets and parks were safe.
I also recall that when Mum would go up to the shops,we never locked our doors or windows.
I can’t recall one single burglary or break-in in our neighbourhood growing up.
Kids were spanked sure!
We were spanked very soundly if required.
Did it leave a bruise or two?
Yes! Sometimes.
But a bruise on the backside doesn’t kill a kid,and by heaven, we DID learn from it,I can tell you.
Edward brings up a good point about drugs.
