Meanwhile six year olds in Japan take the train and/or subway to school all alone, 12 year olds in vietnam ride electric scooters on 60 kph roads to get to school, and I met a chinese 16 year old crossing vietnam by motorbike all by himself.

Yup. Also, Vietnamese parents dropping off very little kids outside school mostly just plop them down on the pavement outside, say bye, and ride off. Boys on unplated electric scooters are a liability though, I’ve seen loads of them getting into crashes

All of these things happen in the US too. This country is massive and incredibly varied.
