[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So why were all the 70's kids allowed to roll around unrestrained and surrounded by glass in the back of the station wagon when it would be considered shockingly irresponsible now? Were cars safer back then? Of course not. Parents were a lot more reckless then, that's why. Society generally progresses over time, and personally I think having higher safety standards for our children is a sign of advancement.

Since the 1970s, the number of child abductions by strangers has...well, actually it hasn't changed. But the lives of children sure are a lot more restricted.[/quote]
