Assume you're joking but some people probably feel that way
I grew up in the late 70's and early 80's, and I look back at some decisions my parents made regarding me and my brother and just shake my head. Mom would leave us home alone all the time before we were really old enough to do such a thing, and she'd just tell one of the neighbors we were there alone and to keep an eye out. She had full trust in our neighbors like they did in B, so it really doesn't blow my mind some of their actions up to the first abduction. After that though, all bets are off. They were complete idiots.
She used to always leave us in the car with the windows down while she would grocery shop. Like we'd sit out in the car for 30-45 minutes, unsupervised. And we wouldn't be the only kids out there. Crazy to think about now.

Ironically these are the things that people like to brag about to this day about their up bringing

the country literally created the 911 system because so many parents at the time were doing what you just described
