These days they have phones on them. Imagine raising a kid in the 90s or earlier.

Phones can be taken. It's less improbable to the shoes to be taken.

I'm saying my mom let me go outside and play with friends when there weren't even phones you could just put in your pocket and be available. Whoever's yard you were hanging out at, their parents said it was dinner time and that's how you knew to go home too.

Ya gotta have SOME level of trust for your kids, otherwise you'll never have a healthy relationship with them.
