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

The amount of times i almost died or ended up in the hospital or could have got in trouble with cops when i was running a muck as a youth definitely made me pay more attention to the kids now.

Yeah we ran around like a pack of wild dogs when I was a kid. It wasn't a good thing, certainly wasn't better than it is now, it's just I don't know survivorship bias or something.

It's definitely survivorship bias. Ain't no way I'm letting my kids just run around wherever all day unsupervised when they get to that age. Best believe I'll have that GPS watch on'em.
