Always has been. The YMCA got its start in the mid 1800's when Christians got tired of stepping over and around lots of drunk young men who left the farm to work in factories. They lived a debauched life. Decades later the Temperance movement rose in response to reckless drinking.
The debauchery is one problem. Plain craziness is another. At one time we put the badly behaved into reform schools. We put crazy people into insane asylums. Now we put them all into the same schools as healthy people in the name of justice and immersion. The restraints have been lifted and the results come in terrifying atrocities.

This misguided “mainstreaming” is certainly one of society’s major, but little discussed, problems.
