Why Do We Judge Parents for Putting Kids at Perceived But Unreal Risk?

I live in a working class NYC neighborhood. Not dangerous, but not completely perfect (and some parts are best avoided). There are kids out alone everywhere!

Go up a few blocks to Park Slope, an extremely safe and cleaned up place, and there's no kids in sight.

Really? I was just in Park Slope 20 minutes ago and saw a few kids ambling about. Yeah, not as many as you see in Crown Heights, but some. I suspect Park Slope kids are a bit more likely to be overscheduled (like suburban kids) than their peers in surrounding neighborhoods.

I admit I don't spend much time there, so just going off what I've seen! I'd be happy to be wrong. I just know here in Sunset Park kids roam free.

That doesn't surprise me. I'm actually headed down there this weekend to eat all the things, super excited.
