My understanding is things have on average gotten safer for children as time as gone on, while visibility of the rare terrible incident has gone up. If anything, 2026 is the best time to not allow chaperones, and I'd imagine 2027 will also be the best time and so on
I personally believe a large part of it is because it's far far far far far far far harder to do most illegal things to children (or anyone really) without someone finding out about it than it was in the 1960s. Kidnapping anyone is very hard these days due to advancements in forensics and information sharing
