No they are not. Why should we take our children's childhood from them just because we are more informed as to what goes on these days?
By our children and their friends having phones it allows them and us to keep in touch with and feel safer about them playing out. I had fun with my friends as a child and I want my children too as well.
I don't think things have changed that much in the last 30 years. We just have much greater TV/radio/internet/newspaper coverage these days scaring us into locking our children up.
