The biggest change since the 1970s when I grew up is the complete bubble kids are kept in, ever since Adam Walsh[1] was kidnapped and murdered. After that case was popularized, society was then fed a steady stream of fear porn.
Heck, I found myself afraid to let my child walk home, out of my sight for 5 minutes... The brain washing is so damned effective.
This can't possibly be good.

- muzani 4y agoI don't think that was the cause of the bubble. I was a 90s kid. My parents left me alone at home and let me play outside wherever. My wife's parents let her swim in a river alone, or with friends. I wouldn't let my younger kids swim in a 1.5 feet deep pool for fear of drowning.
