I think you're right in that the freaking out over the darker parts of childhood, gleefully embraced and exaggerated on by the little bastards children themselves, is a recent thing. I remember people starting to freak about this stuff in the 90s, but its really picked up pace about ten years ago. I have no idea why. There has been a growing trend to keep children under constant supervision and under lock and key until they reach 18/21, depending on state, though and I wonder if this is part of it.

No wonder that so many young adult novels are about dystopic prisons though. Maybe they need more Dahl and dastardly adventure in their little lives.

Home internet would be my guess. Suddenly, kids had access to a whole host of things that *didn't* come with a rating system. Even if it didn't actually change anything about children or their natures, it did give parents something to blame it on. Then you had a few parents who blamed their children's bloody-mindedness and practicality on the internet start censoring things and telling everyone around them what a good parent they are for removing bad material from their children's lives as opposed to actually *teaching them about life* and *explaining* why you don't do certain things. Then it spread.

That said, those giant black tear-shaped things from Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator still freak me out.
