Used to be we dealt with this shite at 3PM on the playground.

In their defense, when we handled shite on the playground it was generally pushing and shoving and some punching but in the end you dusted your arse off and worked it out.

Today? I've got middle school kids beating each other to the point of being put in the hospital (and not because of a parent freakout) or worse.

Overall though, I agree with you. There is definitely this growing gap between helicopter parents and parents who flat out don't give a shite with not much inbetween.
