This ain’t the 1950’s anymore. It’s far more dangerous now for kids.

The crime rates today for serious crime – murder, rape, robbery, assault are the lowest they've been since Kennedy was President.

It's the "fear" of crime that is going through the roof.

I, somewhat, disagree. Kids are not imbued with any knowledge anymore. They have only the vaguest notion of right and wrong. The same dangers existed back in the 60's and 70's for sure. I will agree that the culture is now so debased that what many knew was off limits is no longer held.

Very sad. I made it a point to ditch the parents and escape the yard..... and I thank them every time we talk, for the upbringing I had.

According to the article, no, it's not. It's your perception of the danger level that has increased.
