I blame video games, computers and cell phones.............................

Partially, but I'd also blame helicopter parents and the fear of government intrusion, like DCF involvement, if your kids ar considered the least "free range" and get a booboo

Shit, a broken arm or stitches was a badge of honor in the late 70's.
