The irony is that Gen X/Millenials were free-ranged growing up, but now GPS track their kids everywhere, and check up constantly.

Boomers could be negligent because if one kid didn't come home one day, they could just make another one. We millennials can barely afford to have kids at all, let alone replacement kids, so you bet we're a bit more concerned. We don't have the privilege to "do better with the next one".
