Playing outside became too dangerous and putting kids in front of screens became too easy. We got what we paid for.
Correction: People think that playing outside became too dangerous, but all kinds of crime stats are down since the 90s. Social norms changed to make people think there is more danger due to all the post-911 fear propaganda.
This. It doesn't help that that perception is universal, and mfs will call Child Protective Services if you let your kids go to the park on their own.
And best hope you're not a minority when they come knocking.
You're right, but both can be true at the same time - if your acceptable level of risk is zero then playing outside is too dangerous
Don't forget the satanic panic of the 80's!
