Not from my experience. The kids on my block played all summer long on bikes, with hoses, and at the nearby park. I'm guessing from 5 or 6 different houses on the street, all different ages. Just kids being summer kids.

Same story when I visited family in Colorado. Just kids playing outside like kids. Coming over unsupervised to play with the kids.

Seems like I might not live in the areas where the sky is falling, but I see kids reading outside, playing outside, and generally being away from their parents all the time in my own neighborhood
