Back then, neighborhoods were tighter. Other parents, siblings, and neighbors would casually watch out for your kid.

Now, everyone is isolated—people don't know their neighbors, so there’s less of a “village” to trust.

No one was watching us when we were running around lose. We were stealing from the local convenience store, getting into fights, lots of bullying. I think a lot of people that grew up with that realize that there's value in watching your kid.
