It seems that there are a lot of kids who are not supervised in any way, which results in many like our infamous George Owdon or worse. Our Swallows and Amazons, obviously, had a background with caring parents who gave them the ability to go out explore and have adventures without getting into mischief. So many people in this world were not given the basic "Three R's of Life": Reason, Respect and Responsibility" which is one reason the world is in such a sad state. It seems that the vast majority of characters in our stories were imbued with these "Three R's" and it was a direct result of the parents who were practicing their Responsibility.
