Agreed. But back then, parents focused on their families and supported their kids emotionally and financially. Latch-key kids are having a hard time navigating meth alley at school. Even a kid in a very nice seaside community said she wished she had a big brother at school because it was a threatening violent place. And yet, that town looks lovely like Mainstreet USA. All the moral relativism - I think the kids feel like they are riding a runaway train - many have no adults in charge or interested in them.

The problem is the meth alleys,not the fact that there is no one home.
I was a latch-key kid throughout the 1940s. No meth alleys,or anything like that at school,therefore no problems.

Evil is alive and well.
Schools these days are like prisons, and I hated school back then, hell even the teachers I talk to a ready to retire and get the heck out of there, If I went to school these days I think I would have taken my GED in the 11th grade and got the hell out early.
