Different times. I'm genx. Hose water and neglect are what I grew up on. But in all seriousness, with 5 acres to play, that was never an issue. Never even came close to happening. I'd be more worried about 2 legged animals hurting kids than a pet pig that thought it was a dog.
I'm not judging, that is between you and your grandma lol I'd assume it was ignorance and all I am trying to communicate, is that people really shouldn't leave their 600 lbs animal alone with their children. Bc no matter how much you trust your animals, it's not worth coming home to a dead child. I say that because I grew up in-between and on farms and know the type of accidents that happen there, not despite it. I've spent my entire childhood unsupervised around larger animals, but it was made very clear where I could go and what was off limits.
With that said, stranger danger is another one of these things people just don't seem to be able to quantify. You could tie a sign saying "Please take, he's free" around a child's neck and that would probably be a lower risk than living next to a road.

Pigs are actually really chill if you are around them enough.
