Latch key kids. My parents were married very very young, so a lot of that crossed. Feel like that attitude continued until Obama came in. Everything changed fast and the bullshit agenda accelerated
100% Fundamental change of America.
Btw 1983 was the best year.
Not a kid in my neighborhood had parental supervision from the time school ended until at least 6pm, sometimes much later. It meant knowing your neighborhood, how to get around, and how to fix things as there were no adults to fix it for you. And with so many kids about, there wasn't much of a draw to spend time indoors when there was sun shining. Now suddenly, parents get ticketed and threatened with charges of neglect should they let their kids go to the park at the end of the street on a Saturday without them.
Guess it was the same in the 90s
