Too many cars, teenagers driving and on the cellphone. I'm not afraid from violence but from cars.

how does hovering over your child prevent either of you being hit when a car mounts the pavement?
Have you seen how oblivious young kids are around cars? It’s not about a runaway car driving down the sidewalk.
Well, in many suburbs there is no pavement (in Canada at least). Children play and too many times they just run into the street or just walking and without thinking move 1 meter sideways. Also some playgrounds are very height like 2-3 meters and children fall from it (like flat with back and head on the sand). Anyways, maybe I need a therapy to calm me down.
