Yeah, when I lived in Germany, all of the kids walked to school and stuff by themselves. And, I'm talking little kids, too. I always thought it was awesome that they could still do that. Here, you wouldn't even consider it. But, it was just different where I lived in Germany. People looked out for eachother, kids were not afraid of every little thing. Accidents do happen of course, but, it was just different there. But, that was ten years ago, too. It may not be the same even where I used to live.

That is so sad, though, that the boy was killed.
