I think it's more that the media are getting better at making parents feel uncomfortable about the world outside rather than there actually being a real reason to be that way.
Next generation will only be allowed in the same room as their parents.
Problem is, if everything is done for you, you don't learn how to be responsible for your actions, or even how to think for yourself.
I've seen that with several kids recently, they have absolutely no imagination.
There were paedophiles back when I was growing up too, they aren't a recent invention, I remember Charlie saying not to go off with strangers, and to ask mum first even if it means missing out on a trip because she's busy with the milkman (or was she on the phone?).
