also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.
when they had to make those PSAs of celebrities asking parents if they knew where their child was…as long as people have been felt forced into having children, people will find ways to get them out of their sight
