If that's actually true... Seems a little young for an 8 year old to watch a 6 year old. Not to mention I've seen the 6 year old out wandering the neighborhood by himself multiple times.

I don't see anything wrong with this.

I grew up in the 90s and allthe neighborhood children roamed every inch of the neighborhood until dark everyday. I would ride my bike over a mile to hang out with certain friends.
At what point did this country collectively grow a pussy and decide this wasn't okay?
Also at 6 & 8 my sister and I were home alone for up to two hours after school everyday until our parents got home and we're okay. We could even *gasp* cook on the stove for ourselves!
