40 years ago I used to take public transportation in Los Angeles to and from school. I was 10 years old. Now my parents would be arrested for daring to do something so negligent.
I can attest to similar attitudes when I was a kid. When I was in grades 3-5, I used to walk home from school. It was a several mile walk, and I did it alone, every day. It wasn't seen as abnormal.
Not even speaking Japanese, goes around following and scaring little kids while recording them. What an ass.
Also note that I think the town name got translated wrong, there's no Mize City in Yamagata Prefecture, or anywhere in Japan for that matter. I actually tracked down the exact street this was filmed on (https://www.google.com/maps/@37.9128452,140.1060805,3a,75y,160.62h,72.99t/ Go into street view and then start going south) and it was in fact in Yonezawa, and very close to a school at that.
We've lost our country.
