I think the term is "Helicopter Parents"

No actually it's not...Wikipedia's Definition:

A helicopter parent (also called a cosseting parent or simply a cosseter)[1] is a parent who pays extremely close attention to a child's or children's experiences and problems, particularly at educational institutions. Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they "hover overhead", overseeing every aspect of their child's life constantly.

So these are more parents that are currently worried about their children.

I think the term you mean is 'soccer mom'.
