I am not so sure it is crime but just the general attitude has changed. I and most of my Brothers and Sisters remember being picked up by the Florida Highway Patrol and given a ride home.
I would bet that is considered against their rules now. My Father’s generation remembers when child killers were grabbed by the men of the area and summarily shot to death.
All of us who are here survived “less than optimal” childhoods. Parents need to lighten-up or all they’ll do is create zillions more pajama boys and girls.
