u r right.

But its an Indian show n many times Indian parents leave their children alone at home.

I stayed alone at home when i was 5-6 yrs old many times.

Even English shows show explicit sex scenes n others which r not well-accepted in Indian culture.

So do they consider us in their minds.The answer is No.

This show is 4 Indian audience, foreigners don't understand Hindi.

If u consider NRIs as International audience, then no commennts but I think they know pretty much about Indian ways of living

I beg to differ! Americans are paranoid because they have reason to be so! There are so many perverts, child-molesters and psychopaths around that people cannot take a risk. Whenever a sex offender moves into any neighbourhood, that school district lets parents know because those sickos pose a threat to the kids. So many times, young schoolgirls on their way home from school have been followed by cars, attempted kidnappings have taken place. So many children are missing in so many states, most of them have been kidnapped and killed or sold!
Better be safe than sorry!

Backyards or front yards, kids have been kidnapped from their own homes, from their own bedrooms! Example, 12 year old girl Elizabeth Smart in Utah was kidnapped from her own bedroom. What about Polly Klaas, who was kidnapped from her mother's home and killed?

And I totally dont agree that American kids are clingy and dependant! In fact they grow up to be quite self reliant and start working from a very young age. Most of them pay for their college by taking jobs from high school years. On the other hand, Indian kids are financed almost totally by doting parents. American kids are quite tough when they grow up. Only they need to be protected during the growing years because thats when kids are the most vulnerable and unsafe.

I didnt allow my daughter to play outside by herself or walk back from school all alone but from her late teens, she went everywhere and did everything by herself, she started working from the age of 16-17. Now she lives in Manhattan, I still worry about her but now I think she can take care of herself becuz now she is not at that vulnerable stage anymore.

Even in India, girls face a lot of eve-teasing and vulgarity from the age of 12 onwards. At first they dont know how to deal with that but gradually learn. India is by no means a safe haven for growing up girls! Everywhere, on public buses, crowded streets, girls are groped and touched inappropriately. I dont know why people are in denial of these facts! 😕
