In my professional capacity, I’ve seen people prostituting their children out to pay drug debts, and women allowing their boyfriends to take liberties with their little girls in an attempt to keep them around. There’s a dark underbelly of society that the media ignores. Reason #1 why I’m a helicopter parent.

I believe all that you say, and I believe it without shock or even surprise.

What's a helicopter parent?

“”why I’m a helicopter parent.””

I like that. My 36 year old daughter is a new mother and thinks she may “hover” too much. I tell her there’s no such thing. What a difference 36 years makes. I cringe when I remember how I let her play outside with neighbor kids and while I could hear and see them, it never entered my mind that they could be in danger. Pretty stupid looking back on it now but they were different times for sure. Would I do it in the same neighborhood today - NO!
