Yeah that's typically how it works. People default to complaining and seeing everything as getting worse all the time.

I wonder if the "feral child" phenomenon has actually increased though (I don't think there would be stats) and if that has something to do with the lower crime rate.

Not that it's good to let your child be a feral nuisance. But if a child has shitty parents maybe that's better for their development than whatever abuse the parents would choose to control it.
