Rich parents can afford nannies who force the children to interact with them.
Poor parents use TVs and smart phones to amuse their kids.
This digital divide is getting worse too - studies show kids from lower-income families average 7+ hours of screen time daily vs under 2 for wealthy families who can afford "tech-free" activities and education.
Also, free range kids are likely to be reported by 'concerned' neighbors.
Pretty soon, 'Stand By Me' and 'The Goonies' are going to be classified as dangerous propaganda.
