* [[Harriet the Spy]]: In the movie, the children are only 11, yet they wander aimlessly around town with little to no concern from their parents. The book may have been written in the 60's, but since the movie was clearly set in the 90's, it was a bit jarring to see. |

* A big problem for the recent [[Bridge to Terabithia]] film, which is set after 2000. Nowadays, the well-off Burke parents would '''never''' have allowed Leslie (their only child and only ten) to go even near the rope or in the woods by herself (or even with Jess), ''precisely'' out of fear that something might happen. |

* The four junior high protagonists in ''[[Camp Nowhere]]'' are pretty free-range to begin with. That said, the concept is brought into full play once they set up their own phony summer camp and bring along several of their friends. The trope is also explored in detail--issues like boredom, homesickness, injuries, and brushes with the law crop up throughout. |
