>Parents would be almost seen as negligent if their children weren't supervised within earshot.
One asshole calling CPS will put a little voice in the back of everyone's head telling them to be slightly more restrictive with their kids.
>art of me struggles to believe that kids don't want to play outside unsupervised – at least once they're outside.
Kid's don't want to play outside in the first place. They'd rather watch TV or whatever. If you make them play outside they'll stop whining and do it in fairly short order.
Combine the up front whining with the little voice and you see why "go play outside until mommy is done making dinner" is much less common.
