Laws? no.
Parents paying attention and giving a frick what their kids are doing? yes absolutely.
the issue is not that we need to have laws and such to manage it, we need parents to step up and not let Phones/Social Media and such be baby sitters. they need to be more involved with their kids, not completely intrusive, but more involved.
I look at it like this. when I was in college, I worked full time at Walmart. the store I was in had a lot of issues with kids shoplifting, mainly due to gang initiation and so on. right around the corner was a dollar theater, so we attracted kids from there nightly. parents would ditch their kids at the movies and come back a few hours later to get them. other times parents would come in, and just let the kids run rough shod with no supervision.
we didn't need laws or rules about the kids coming in - we needed the parents to give 2 shits about what the kids were doing.
