Back in my day kids played outside! Go to the park! Get some sun!
Good thing they turned the park into a parking lot for the newest CostCo/WalMart/Whatever. But why are all these kids playing on the road! I Can’t even see the younger ones, why are they so short they can hide behind my oversized SUV!
Or, more commonly, the park is still there, but kids can’t go and play alone. Society’s expectations have changed and a kid is supposed to have a parent watching them constantly while they’re outside. And, if a kid does go and play and gets injured or killed, the blame lands squarely on the neglectful parents who will now be charged with a crime.
