Parents seem to be more protective of their children and other people's children, is this because of the media attention to child sex crimes and abductions?

Damn right.
Nothing wrong with limiting risk to our children. 27 years ago, at night on a dark road, a truck driver stopped his huge truck up to me, and asked me a question about directions, (i was like 7 yo ffs) - immediately i knew i was in danger and pegged it. Would have been a gruesome ending i'm sure.
Same kind of dangers exist today. Always limit risk to children - part of responsible parenting.

The world has been mad for some time now.
I'd say that IF it's true that parents are overprotective, it's because parents have egos. (I'd like to see an objective study done about this. While I agree with you, our subjective opinions are often wrong.) A lot of parents feel that they know how to be a parent better than anybody else, and they take it as an insult if anybody else even tries to help. While sex crimes and abductions are a (probably) irrational fear that parents worry about, I doubt that those particular fears have nearly as much influence as their own feelings of self-satisfaction.

It have began a long time ago now, families with children feeling unsafe of their children.
Societies today knows better than ever, who are the guidance that can be trusted with their children in every field of society.
Still, permissibility of certain abuse has been coming from the same family of children; as child sex crime.
Yet still, the media has uncovered some seriousness of scoundrel episodes from the guidance themselves; as the church hood.
The worst is yet to come, as our societies today are accepting what it is called Gay Culture. This is an open threat, as such a culture are looking on others as the obstacles of modern civilisation, when they are the distance past of human cultures.
They are to understand the nature, not nature is to understand them. Otherwise they shell suffer.

I think parents have to be more protective of their kids these days. There are so many ways for child predators to get at kids today. It is a shame that kids don't have the freedom that those of us who grew up in the 1950's had.
On the other hand kids have so many more resources and options than we had back then. It's a trade off really, but it just kills me every time I hear about a child who was harmed or killed by some loon out there on the loose.

Honey, you do have alternatives. CPS doesn't *pick* to take your children. If something they are searching for causes to save your children with you. the stunning element they pick is yet another "case" to might want to seem in to, yet another abode to locate for those youngsters. If issues are like you assert, then dropping your children is the stunning of your concerns. What you want to concentration on is LEAVING. You and your mom's courting is poison to you and your children. you want to get housing assistance, authorities assisted daycare, use public transportation to locate artwork, use TANF, use foodstuff stamps, WIC, coupons, foodstuff banks. There are factors, it purely appears like there is no longer. Do you've a level? A GED? did you comprehend that in case you examine in for preparation you'll get a provide, and surely get a huge refund of money? adequate to even probable get you a motor vehicle or purchase issues on your children? the point is that there are options. a lot of them, and it will be scary, although the purely way out is to bypass ahead and by no ability seem decrease back. you gained't lose your children, yet you want to lose the topic you're in. reliable luck!

well, it is sad, but it has a lot to do with the increase in crimes against children. In that sense: thank God for the media attention. I feel saddened that I will have to tell my very young daughters very early on that there are people out there who might want to hurt them. But if it keeps them away from danger and alive, it is a sacrifice (of their innocent minds) that I have to make. Makes me cry.

Both! The World is not only going mad, but we are also being over-protective of kids in some ways - yet not in others, such as poor diet, poor sleep and sleeping patterns, and having too much say in decisions that they're ill-equipped to make.

we are not more protective!you evidently aren't very old.if we were more protective over our children as compared to the past,we'd have more discipline and less gangs.no guns in schools and,and more respect for others.
we are however blessed with a great number of kids nowadays who have more sense than the parents that raise them!
