Well one might also argue that there are much more unsafe factors out there nowadays than before though. I guess the increasing inequality and social segregation also has something to do with it. Generally, the modern life is just factually much different from the life 100 years ago. Though I definitely agree this shouldn't go too far. There was this article that I just read a few days ago, that stated that Iceland was able to drastically curb teenage drug/alcohol use with some measures, which included after school interest clubs etc. and especially, a law that prevented them from being outside after 0:00 (summer) or 22:00 (winter)... which I certainly find way too draconian. You'd definitely still want to give the teens much more freedom even if it entails a risk of them getting influenced by some negative factors. Still, it's their life and you need to let them learn stuffs and explore on their own.
