Surely the only reason Pokemon GO is mentioned is to get clicks. It's barely even related.

The baby boomers played outside as kids and they criticized millennials for not playing outside when they were kids. The world they grew up in was much safer for exploring the local neighborhoods and town.

I seriously doubt that.

The idea that crime has increased is a myth. The idea that people are waiting in vans to kidnap kids in droves is a myth.

Crime rates are much lower than they were decades ago.

And the war on drugs was a success too, right.

My bet is a gang initiation thing. Such bullshit.

This was my first thought.

Yeah. It's definitely a clickbaity title.

100% factual headlines are now clickbait.

That's statistically inacurate, though... Right? Homicides dropped dramatically, but media coverage increased exponentially with better technology and social media. The world's no where near as dangerousas it was then, we just see the bad stuff that happens now.

100% factual headlines are now clickbait.

Not all facts in a story go into the headline, you know... it's the simplest description and/or what draws the most clicks.

What the person is doing on the phone while being shot to death is superfluous in comparison to the main story... unless it draws clicks, then it's headline material
