This really isn't it. People think their kids are going to get murdered/kidnapped/assaulted. "It's 10PM, do you know where your children are?" was a local news promo. You had "news magazine" TV shows designed to frighten parents which were just tragedy porn for attention.
"My kid is going to get hit by a car" isn't why kids don't go out and play any more, it's the news manipulating culture for decades.
