I think there were more problems in the past than today. The further back you go, the worse it was. I think things are safer today, not worse...
But I do agree that parents are becoming less and less responsible about raising children. I think if a 12yr old sells drugs, the parent should also go to jail. Don't have kids unless you're responsible enough to raise them. There aren't any kids who are born drug addicts/pushers, it is learned.
