Today many kids are raised like veal. Only 13 percent of them even walk to school. Many who take the bus wait at the stop with parents beside them like bodyguards. For a while, Rhode Island was considering a bill that would prohibit children from getting off the bus in the afternoon if there wasn't an adult waiting to walk them home. This would have applied until seventh grade.

He doesn't? There's plenty of references to the 1980's and this 30-year trend of over regulating child safety.
And to his point, one kid missing from a bus stop doesn’t mean we need radical changes in the process.
