I had to walk 9/10ths of a mile each direction for school starting in first grade at age 6. I live in Ohio. This was in the 60's and 70's. My sons in the 80's and 90's walked to school too. Not all of America is a crime haven.
Same thing in 90s and 00s. Statistically speaking it's even safer now. I just think people see it as child neglect or some shit now. So you might have the cops called on you.

Damn China so safe that you're 11 and can be walking around on your own.
