Context. If they live in a farm probably ok, apart from water danger. Where I live in se London, naice area but roads. Scumbags. Not a chance.

Just a usual UK town, Home Counties suburb. Home is fairly close to the park, but up a road and round a bend.

Jesus. Yes that would concern me hugely.

Me too, but I’ve never lived in an area where my kids would be ‘safe’ outside (on busy roads, very far from playgrounds etc), so I wasn’t sure if I was being out of touch.
