Pokemon comes to mind.

- Single parent approves of child's idea to drop out of school and travel the country/world alone with their pet.
And since the child in question has a tendency to speak with every adult stranger they meet, whether it is in a dank cave or forest, what could possibly go wrong?

But that's because you're comparing their world to ours.  It seems ridiculous to us because we live in such a fucked up world.  But since everyone is so damn nice in Pokemon's world, guns and drugs don't seem to exist, even their "gangs" are pretty tame (all they do is steal people's Pokemon), it's easy to see why they have that tradition.

It's hard to imagine, but if we lived in a world of peace like that, I can see a lot of parents letting their kids leave home at 10.

Plus... you know... they're accompanied by a power-ass monster with supernatural powers who wants only to protect them and obeys their every command, there's that too...
