Are children safer now than before?

So I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while but just kept forgetting. What’s the deal with parents these days? Are they just stupid or just bad? Why are the constantly puttin their children in harm’s way? And I’m not talkin bout the usual ignorant ghetto or white trash. These are regular people that you think would be able to make sound decisions. Take for instance, high school kid with Facebook and MySpace pages. I understand that this is the new medium and forum for kids to keep in contact but didn’t anyone learn their lessons from the chat rooms of the late 90s? Back then everyone was anonymous and predators had to jerk off to pics your child sent (if your child was dumb enough to do so). Now we got girls with half their asses hangin out on YOUTUBE! And of course that same video is prolly linked to their MyFace page (that’s my hybrid word…easier than typin the two). Since when is this much overexposure good? Hell, half the celebrities can’t handle overexposure without goin into rehab. Another issue I have is with the cell phones. They’ve only been around for about 20 years and research is still inconclusive about whether or not the radiation can cause damage. I mean the chemicals that our parents have ingested during their early adulthood are startin to show up in our younger brother and sisters. ADHD, Autism, and the other increasing child learning disabilities are proof of that. Seriously, thank GOD for texting otherwise I’d hate to see what our children will look like in 20 years. Does an 8 year old really need a cell phone? Why isn’t he/she with an adult to begin with? I fear I may end up being that super overprotective parent…or at least just a very cautious one. And why not? A child is a huge investment. Probably the best investment. And if you take care of it, they will take care of you. Lol.
