You don't now, or shouldn't.
It's perception. Why we were hoofed out by our parents at 9am on a Saturday and not expected to be seen again till nightfall. What did we do in that time? Mum couldn't care a less. Just tended to the injuries and repeated the process on the Sunday.
Now, parents are terrified to let their kids out of their site till their mid teens.
Same world. Same risks. Different perceptions.
In the 30 years to 2024, murder and violent crime fell 75%. It is so rare now it is reported on the national news when it happens. Yet folk walk about terrified a black man will randomly knife them or a Jihadi blow them up.
Completely nuts.
