It's less about neutering, and more about diet.

Junk food and processed sugar creates dietary based ADHD kids.

One's information diet also changes how the brain develops, that's not a pseudo threat.

I sense some trepidation around not having unfettered access to swim in the whole ocean as a child with more and more sharks and angel fish floating around.

The environment to monitor is increasingly digital, not just in person. See my note above about parents who think their kids are safe at home, when they're letting the entire unfiltered world into their kids devices, eyes, minds without context.
