Pretty much as per the URL. 8/10 parents won't let their kids ride on the

No surprise there then. But I suspect a lot of those parents won't
let their kids walk down the road on their own either, especially as
the survey covered kids as young as 7 years.

Most of the comments I read are as depressing as the article.

It's a newspaper. Newspapers aren't there to make you happy. Except for the
Star, obviously.
