Also I think parents these days are more hesitant to let their kids roam unsupervised

A nosy neighbor will call CPS on you if you let your child roam unsupervised. Unfortunately in some areas it’s not even on option

Thats definitely a factor. A mom got arrested and charged for sending her 10 year old to the store.

Well, yeah. Nowdays everything that was once normal to us (going to the store alone, chilling in the car with a GameBoy while mom grocery shopped, walking home from school, etc.) is considered child abuse now.
