Last time is more dangerous. Gangsterism and all. Now everything so toned down, many CCTV and people here have become so woke and paranoid.

Primary 3. Walk 7 blocks of hdb flat. Was also a latch key child since primary school. Very common then.

You rarely hear this term "latch key child" these days.

Low crime doesn't mean no crime. With cctv, still got that weird guy in toh yi area. I rather not take the chance and have to rely on cctv to find the perpetrator.
I feel pri sch students shd still be accompanied, esp low pri. I left my kids to take public tpt themselves fr upper pri.

I could be wrong coz not a parents.

But I thought nowadays more kids are on their own instead of parents fetching coz both are working.
