Kids need to go outdoors on their own to grow up. They need to extend the radius in which they be active on their own. You can't lock kids until they go to college or university. Otherwise they become young adults unfit to live an independent live.
I am not going to force my kid outside, if it has panic attacks from neighbours pitbulls!
What city do you live in?
Never seen or heard of such a place, but I'm not going to pretend to know every city in the world, so very curious to know where the town is overrun by dogs and crazy people running after you (if nothing else, so I don't visit).
