Bushey

[gentle music] How protective do we really need to be of our children? And just how dependent are they on us? What would happen if children were actually left to live alone together? 10 boys from Bushey in Hertfordshire were chosen to live by themselves in this house for five days.

Aged 11 and 12, none of them had met beforehand.

The house and garden were filled with toys, games, books, and paints.

Mark.

Then it was time to check out each other's schools.

What school do you go to? Bushey Meads.

Do you live near your school? Yeah.

Where? What road? Beechcroft Road.
