We closed all the youth centers, made it illegal to loiter, banned them from places like coffee shops and malls, made parks miles away from residential home, prevented them from any mobility until they're 16.... It's those damn video games!

I mean god forbid we let them go outside and have unstructured time. They might get addicted to something.
