Devils advocate: The reason statistics is down is that people are taking less risk. If you were to live like before the risk would be the same or higher.

Don't know if it's actually true, but it's worth examining.

I suspect the reduced number of malicious acts by adults has been more than balanced out by the increased rate of children killing themselves as we cripple their development more and more over time.

AFAIK at least the stranger danger phenomenon was always blown up by the media. Sexual abuse of children for example typically happens by people who know the children. It's extremely rare for a stranger to do that.
