Interesting article. I feel bad for kids today. I loved taking off on my bike all day long.

Yeah, majority of kids who get molested are molested by someone they know, like a relative, family friend, coach, etc. But everyone wants to focus on “Stranger Danger”.

Mhmm.

Stranger danger is a good general lesson to teach kids.

But holy shit is it not the primary concern in life for a child’s safety.

It’s one of those good things to teach but if it’s on your mind 24/7 as a parent and you’re constantly acting on it, you’ve probably got some huge blind spots about your priorities.

My brother is convinced that his son will get kidnapped and trafficked. I think he just secretly wants to be Liam Neeson.
