Here the kids just walked or cycled home. Bus if you lived further away or didn’t wanna cycle in the winter. But I grew up in a small town in Estonia in the 00s. It may have been literally feared at the time by people not from our town, but generally nobody would hurt a 7 year old and even once you got older, usually people’s beefs were with kids from the other towns nearby, not locals.
Comment on School pickup lines are wild

I work in child care and the regulations behind this are fucked. There’s no gray area and staff risks prison time for not following them. I get how these laws and regulations get implemented. Even “good parents” will think it’s completely reasonable to be late to pick up your children. Once in a while isn’t a problem but when you are in charge of hundreds of kids and too many parents have that mentality it creates a cascade of issues for staff. (child care works have lives too) so please contact the school/facility if you are going to be late and don’t be late constantly.
