  1. Every "adult around" is considered a threat, not as helpful. Just touching a child that's not your own, is a big thing in USA.

  2.  @a.r.r.i.9841  This must be america, if you get in the wrong bus in Germany, you would never end up at another school, but at the zoo or the supermarket or whereever. And if the kid handles to correct his mistake himself somehow, maybe it can read google maps, or the schedule of the bus, with age 10 , it's 4th grade ? It will become very proud and get confidence in himself, to have "survived" this adventure. The only one noticing this thing, would be his school, for arriving late.

  3.  @Izanuela22  Right, and maybe the armement in USA is a reason, this blind trust has gone. The missing trust, is also a reason for this facade of friendly small talk, without really caring what the other has to say. There is no liability for your word.

  4. We are talking about scratches and a band aid in your bag. Not about broken legs. You could also say, driving a car is more relaxed, cause in case of accident there is no hospital bill ?

  5.  @sciencefliestothemoon2305  You think this is common in germany ? How often might this happen ? 10 times per year in the entire country ? The risk is simply so low, that you take it. Normal risk of life, like walking along a street. Or taking a flight. Nothing related to playgrounds at all. Kids need to try how body reacts, to gravitation or balance or whatever. If they fall , they should fall soft, that's why it's often mulch on the ground. This changes a broken leg into a hematoma maybe. No need for a doctor. That's OK. It's correct, parents go more often to see the doctor, cause they feel insecure, but this is not a reason to take more risks.

  8. For a scratch, you have band-aid ready, it's not worth to hold back life to avoid any scratch.
