Does anyone get the impression the reason they are pursuing this is to undermine parents who trust their kids to act more independently?
Like I've walked 2 miles by myself as a kid, lived rural so would walk to the shops by myself with pocket money for a treat. I've been home alone when I was 7 because I was at that age responsible to know where everything was and what not to touch until parents got home.
This seems targeted at these parents so they can't execute this level if trust so they are forced to babysit what should be highly independent kids in the hopes they become resentful of their parents. Might be over thinking it but then we look at all the other examples of the authorities seeking to undermine the parent/child relationship.

The government when they find out Gen X'ers are allowing kids to drink from garden hoses like they did back in the day.
