It only seems like an epidemic because everyone is on a self-righteous hypocritical, politically correct, which hunt, all in the name of "saving the children."
It happens waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay way less now than it did even as little as 20 years ago. The information age makes these stories get coverage so much more quickly and pervasively so it sticks in people's minds much more readily. Before, say, in 1974, if this happened, at best, it would make the local paper and perhaps even the local news. Now, when it happens, it gets posted to the world wide web within hours or even minutes of it occurring. And multiple articles or news stories make the rounds...leaving "deep" impressions on people's minds.
So what do we have? People thinking that kids die in cars all the time instead of the truth in that kids very rarely, extremely rarely, die in cars especially when compared to the past. But we are still on a witch hunt, alright.
Check this out, in Oklahoma, where I live, your child cannot ride their back more than 2 blocks from the home without parental or "guardian" presence. Meaning, unless you have a legally aged babysitter or parent with the child, you can get in legal trouble for your child riding their bike that far away. This came straight from the mouth of the field Supervisor from the county's DHS office.
