The greatest majority of parents do not neglect their children, they set boundaries and they gently steer their charges towards a safe, healthy and meaningful life. As well, children are much more sensible and discriminating than many who would 'help' them are inclined to believe.
Anyhow as usual there is no need to check outside because the sky is definitely not falling. In fact, things are a whole lot better for children than when my mother was a twelve year old student. Back then many girls like her were subjected to the care, censorship and moral guidance of Catholic nuns and some still bear the physical and mental scars.
There are always those who claim they can save us from God-awful ends, especially where we are willing to suspend our judgement and allow them to foist their own morality on us. There was plenty of that back in my mother's day and than goodness those days have largely gone.
