They thought he was crazy and probably already dead. They were convinced that all wrong doings in town were commited by him, and that he was savage and would murder them if they came to close to his house.
why do you think jem confessed to atticus about the childrens activites regarding boo radley
Boo Radley saved the children from Bob Ewell. Atticus thanks Boo because if Boo hadn't stepped in to stop Bob Ewell, the children probably would have been killed. Atticus is thanking Boo Radley for keeping his children alive. At least, that's how I see it :)
Boo Radley saves Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Atticus.
Boo Radley Game:))
Boo Radley
Boo Radley was the one guarding Atticus with a gun from his window the whole time in "To Kill a Mockingbird." Boo Radley saved Scout and Jem from Bob Ewell's attack, ultimately protecting them and their father Atticus.
Atticus did not explicitly agree with Mr. Radley's opinion of the hole in the tree. However, he acknowledges that Mr. Radley may have filled the hole to prevent gifts from strangers reaching Boo. Atticus respects Mr. Radley's decision, understanding the need to protect Boo's privacy.
Atticus visits the Radley house to pay his respects upon the death of Mrs. Radley. Scout and Jem suspect that Boo caused her death and are eager to prove their theory. They are disappointed to learn from Atticus that she died of natural causes. Then Scout asks Atticus if he "saw Mr. Arthur." Atticus sternly replies, "I did not." That is all she hears about it.
Atticus found out about the children's game involving Boo Radley when Heck Tate mentioned it during Tom Robinson's trial. Tate revealed that he had asked Atticus not to tell the children about Mr. Radley's courage in saving them from Bob Ewell, as it might prompt them to reenact the story. This indicated to Atticus that the children had indeed been playing a game about Boo Radley.
When Boo Radley's father Atticus died, his older brother Nathan moved in to take over the household. Boo Radley is a mysterious character in the book.
