In the UK a lot of primary school kids ride to school... And the UK isn&#x27;t nearly as bike friendly as Denmark.<p>I just find it extremely curious how strange the US has become towards children, you have this &quot;free range kids&quot; thing (which is just the norm in other countries) with child protection going after parents for it, and you have parents being questioned because they let their kids play in the front yard of their own house?<p>The US has lost all sense of reality. Children are safer now than they have ever been. Stranger kidnappings are exceptionally uncommon. And yet on the other side of this coin you have childhood depression and obesity increasing, likely because children aren&#x27;t allowed to play and are not given as much freedom.<p>The fact this article exists is yet another hint that something is wrong with the US.
