When I was young, which was before liberalism opened the closet, that had contained all the threats children now face, free range was how children grew up. I used to walk with my friend to the local school, to see our brothers, when we were 4; before we were old enough to go to school. As long as you made it home for lunch, mother would not know how far we roamed as we explored the neighborhood and beyond during the school day.
Was this before or after those blessed non liberal religious schools protected and allowed priests and teachers to rape children?
To declare that there were no threats to children way back when you were a child is insulting to the thousands of children who were systematically abused by their teachers, priests and nuns with no legal recourse and no one to protect them.
The threats to children were always there. You were just blindly ignorant of it.
It is natural for pups and kittens to explore on their own, with parents allowing freedom as long as you were home for meals as a check in time. Back then, there was not the same level of perverted threats, we have today, because liberalism did not yet have all the closet groups as voting blocks. They were less protected and kept a distance from the children. Criminals are more likely to vote democrat due to their soft stand on crime and perversion. The modern children suffer for this.
If you must know, the threats back then, were much worse than they are today. At the very least, when people abuse children today, they are prosecuted. Back in what you appear to be declaring was your halcyon days, paedophiles were often protected and allowed to prey on innocent children.
After the liberals broke up the family, by souring the females against marriage and children, there used to be what were called latch key kids.
I have to say, having read your writings on this site over the years, I cannot for a second imagine why some "females" have soured against the thought of marriage. At all.
These were children, who were not only free ranging, but they had to take care of themselves after school; prepare meals, because their single mother or both parents were now working. When liberals helped to split the family, you now need double the living quarters; dad and mom/children, causing demand for housing to go up.
Yes, well, I can understand how the thought of children having different bedrooms to their parents and having indoor plumbing and *gasp* a living room and a kitchen *gasp* would be a shock to your system. Did you live in a one room shack?
This made rent and mortgages go up so even mother had to work, in many two parent homes. The latch key children were not a big deal, either, except people felt sorry for those kids losing childhood, by having to become older sooner. It was not about threat but rather pity for the children's loss of innocents. There was no punishment for the mother, nor did these kids get taken away. Liberal pervert groups are protected and even liberals now sense the threat their own base has on the children. Government is trying to help.
Yes, if people want to live in a house and not a cave or tent (like from your childhood days), more often than not, both parents have to work, to ensure the family not only has a roof over its head, but food to put on the table and to be able to afford education and health care for their brood. This is real life and reality.
I suspect you are hung up on the ideal of a Leave it to Beaver lifestyle, where dad goes to work and mum stays home baking cookies for when the children get home from school. Very few women are able to have that luxury and when the choice became roof over their heads or Mrs Beaver, all opted for roof over their heads. Not to mention that we have moved on from your childhood days where women were tied to the kitchen sink, naked, barefoot, illiterate and pregnant, with a ball and chain chastity belt her owner made her put on every morning before he left for work, and want an education and a career. I know, I know, the thought of women having control over their lives is offensive to you. Those damn perverted liberals! How dare they! Don't they know that her place is in the kitchen?
Poor wellwisher, no bitch to make you a sandwich or to cook you some eggs.
