How it's like being a prisoner? How do you think a kid gets to the house of a friend?
Aside from that, you're the idiot here. The idiot who bases his ideas on media attention instead of actual statistics. For instance, child abuse and such haven't gone up in decades according to most statistics.
Not letting a kid walk alone until age 18 is ridiculous. Times have changed a bit, but that is not a reason to deny a kid all freedom. You're gonna deny a 16 year old the right to go over to the house of a friend by him/herself, walk home from school or go to the grocery store?
Your kid is gonna grow up weak, dependant, scared and not fit for real life.
