Preposterous Parenting Plague

What use to be normal, innocent, precious children has now turned into what I call preposterous!  It absolutely is.  Obedient and pleasant children are far from the norm no matter where you go.  What happened?  How did we as a nation get to the place where adults are afraid of even their own children?  How have children become so unpredictable, vile, and ruthless?  Listen to what may be the tip of the iceberg that impacts everyone regardless of where you live, work, play, etc.
