My guess is that the American working system has drained so much from their working population that leashes are required because they have no energy left to pay full attention to their children.

    That, and streets are deadly hellscapes over there a lot of the time. Driving laws are barely enforced and infrastructure is almost like it's intended to kill anyone who dares to exist outside a car.
