It's not more dangerous to play outside (actually it's safer), it just seems that way because of media sensationalism.

You claim it's safer. I'm curious if you can support that.

Not to be argumentative, but what you're saying doesn't fit my firsthand experience as someone who wandered the neighborhood pretty freely as a child and whose own kids didn't. My kids lives occurred in a different context from mine and I never criticized them, just sought to understand the forces at play driving a different set of choices and outcomes.
