Parents allowed it.
There were also PROBABLY too many working mothers and children were left at home with baby-sitter.
There were also probably too many single mothers: recipe for failure when "dad" is NOWHERE to be found; it cheats the children ROYALLY.
Parents HAD to have the STUFF.

They brought it all on themselves and, unfortunately on their children. Woe to them! My, I sound Biblical!

There are also a lot of suburban mothers who are busy training their kids to be future leaders of the planet and don’t make their kids get real genuine work experience. They’re the ones that don’t like to see their precious spud face a judge if they commit and crime and prefer their little weasels to remember how special they are. It’s not just working mothers.
