jezebelkat, Asked on that other website, thought I'd ask on the chicken snack:
When did helicopter parenting kick in? When did kids stop having the ability basically be gone on their bikes all day and maybe call from a payphone/friend's landline to check in once?
Was it the rise of cell phones as something now adolescents or even younger kids just... had? Did it start earlier and I just didn't notice?
It feels like kids/teens haven't had that kind of freedom in a very, very long time. 20 years maybe.
