I fully support this notion. I was overprotected in a sense as a kid, but I grew up in a nice safe neighborhood, so I could go outside and play as much as I wanted to. I'll give my kids the same freedom. Even to use public transit if they want to, but they'll just need to know safety rules/tactics. Always keep their eyes open in every direction, and what to do if they're touched in any way (Immediately scream :P).
