I'm sorry, I didn't read the rest of your wall. However, I certainly blame TV. Specifically John Walsh in the 1980's[0]. He scared the crap out of a lot of people in the 80's. Every neighbor was a potential pedophile, murderer, rapist and so you saw a shift in the way people parented.

[0] The guy's kid was abducted and murdered, so I get he did what he felt he needed to do.
