            I think your experiences are clouding your judgement. Just because you grew up then doesn’t mean you have knowledge of everyone who grew up then, nor on everyone growing up now.

            I am not much younger than you and I distinctly recall parents and police responding to several incidents. But same deal, just because i saw it doesn’t make it universally true.

              Maybe it was also local to where I was. It was just my general experience that it happened enough to be quite surprising that not one thing was done about it.

              For example we had a neighbour when I was growing up who was known to have lost his teaching job for exposing his penis to his students. He exposed himself to my mother one day, and apparently to several other neighbours. His wife was a piano teacher, and despite what he had done pretty much everyone went to piano lessons with her. He would meet you at the door in nothing but his underwear. Nobody did a thing about it. It just seemed very normalized to me.
