> For better or for worse the ship has definitely sailed on the laissez-faire "be home before sunset" parenting of past generations.
It's only "sailed" because (some) parents demand to know where their kid is at all times. While I think it's difficult for any individual parent to, say, forbid social media for too long lest they ostracize their kid, saying "I won't track my kids" is a choice any parent can make.
I just pity the kids of these helicopter parents. The youth mental health crisis is no accident.
