Go ahead and just raise your hand if you were a perfect child whose parents instructed you in everything you ever encountered and you obeyed every rule and never did anything that they didn't know about? Right. Not a single person in history including Jesus and Moses and all those ultimate bros.
Next assumption based on nothing.

We used to roam the streets with BB Gun rifles, bow and arrows, and sling shots. There was always a war taking place somewhere in our neighborhood. We had forts and battle stations everywhere. I'm honestly surprised none of us died or lost an eye, as we would literally shoot arrows at each other and not bother where we aimed with our high powered BB and pellet guns.
We had dirt bike tracks in the woods, an abandon bridge, train tracks that ran through the woods where we used to hop moving trains like hobos, rope wings, you name it. From the time we were home from school until it was bed time, we were out and playing. No worry of pedophiles or adults hurting us. It was awesome. I'm sure a lot of you had the same experience. Best child hood ever.
I can't fathom these poor kids growing up today in the nanny state. The thought of having to worry about getting shot by the police just doesn't even compute. We did have a few run ins with them but at no time were we in actual danger or harms way.
