Same! This was in the 90s. We had a school directory and if my mom needed to find me, she’d call a few of the neighbors to see where I was. Everyone looked out for everyone else’s kids, too.
This is true and your neighbors better not ever call your parents to say you were doing something wrong. You would pay hell for that.
I always dreaded the words "well - boys will be boys" if my mom was talking to other parents or even my grandparents. They didn't have to say what I did. That was enough.
