Whenever I read these kind articles and some of the comments here I always wonder:

Its it survivor bias? I grew up in a small village/city during communism. I was basically unsupervised from morning to night since I have memories about me walking around in that village.

We were doing a lot of dangerous things while playing. And there are kids that got injured for life or lost their lives: falling from trees, drawn in a river, leg lost due to a horse injury, losing an eye during a game with some pipes, jumping from high places like 1st floor or more, ... I managed to not get hurt but the examples I gave are real.

I am not even talking about any of the fights between kids verbal or physical there were happening that todays will be labeled trauma.

So I do wonder if this free range thing that we desire is really what we want and we can accept the consequences?

I am not sure in all cases, depending of course of kids age and ability to reason, for each individual child this total liberty is the right path. I do understand the benefit for the society.
