Why can’t we go back to when kids weren’t allowed social media and had little time behind a screen?

1) kids being indoors has made youth crime almost non-existent in comparison to decades past. I don't think this is itself is sufficient justification to keep kids indoors all the time.
2) you have to counter the narratives that there are child predators lurking around every corner waiting to abduct children. People are afraid to let children leave their own yards. As a child, your own yard is boring if nobody else comes over. Unless your parents actually have a good chunk of property at least.

@Soramarie that's a good article with some shocking numbers. But in truth, those numbers are also down.

With a couple exceptions, drug use is down. Unfortunately, overdoses are up. Meaning that though use is down overall, the kids using are going for harder drugs
