Other societies without helicopter parenting (read: most of them) don't have a wealth of maimed and dead kids. Instead, parents are involved with their child's development and they teach them to keep themselves safe - though their societies are not unoften more safe than the USA, anyway. We could do things like reduce the incidence of gun and car related injuries and fatailities and provide more opportunities to encourage parents playing with their children outdoors.
