Having been born in the 80s, I can relate to how children belonged to the community and how discipline was instilled by other adults; then reported to our parents for more.

We thrived in play, we rolled on the grass and climbed trees and fences then retired home with itchy legs from the grass pricks and covered in dust and a few sores and scratches. Television sets were under lock and key inside massive wall units and would only be watched during specific times, mostly when parents were home.
