Yet in Europe I’ve seen kids that are no chance older than this getting on crowded public transport to go where they need.
I grew up with a mom that was way too worried about some bullshit she saw about kidnapping on TV despite living somewhere that at the time was definitely safe to roam around. It wasn’t great. If I hadn’t been at least spared to stay home by myself from around age 10, I’d never learned to be independent.
That's because Europe was predominantly White. A couple more manchette attacks and parents will have to decide:
Having your kid hacked up is "part and parcel of living in a big city” and accept it out of "tolerance."
The world outside your home is legitimately dangerous now and the answer is giving the government more power. To keep you inside your home and raise your children for you.

This is legitimately already the case in parts of Sweden. At least your first bullet-point, anyway. But also the second, to some extent.
Also arguably parts of any of Australia's largest cities. Particularly Western Sydney... And like, South Auckland in NZ.
All for more or less the same reason. And mostly the same "groups", too, lol.
