We Have Ruined Childhood
Well, if you report 24x7 hate and danger, scare the crap out of people, and report that there is danger behind every tree, then yes, childhoods are ruined.  Things are getting safer and the only way you would know it is go look at the CDC stats.<p>Kids need time with their friends away from parents.  I'm so glad I was able to grow up in the (sadly last) "be home for dinner, be back by dark" generation.
