Seems to be common in developed countries. Parents whine about kids being inside all day but then talk about how dangerous the world is around them.
Ok but as a parent, 8-year-old George in 1919 is literally incomprehensible. Mother and grandfather were raised right though
In 1919 in Sheffield there wouldn’t have been that many vehicles on the road, so it probably would have been safer from that perspective. Additionally people walked further in daily life back then, and were more used to doing so. Very different times.
Also worth noting that people had a lot more children then, and child death was still a fact of life, so perhaps people were a little less precious.
