[what's up]

BTW, according the NCIC, approximately 750,000 the disappearance of a child was serious enough that a parent called the police, the police took a report, and the police entered that report into NCIC (in 2001).

Well, that would coincide with irrational fears. When fear spikes, so do calls to the police.

When I say "irrational" I mean fears caused by the MSM 24/7 news cycle...not fears which are valid. The horror of a genuine kidnapping is hellish. But as with everything else that the MSM touches (witness global warming and the irrational fears the MSM has hoaxed us with) the fears people have over their children are likely over the top.

The only way to tell if the 115 figure is correct is to research it which I don't have the time or inclination to do. But if it is correct, the fears people have over their kids being kidnapped are wildly irrational.

I'm not disputing the fact that parents' concerns are not proportional to the real risk.

But what exactly are the great benefits of letting your children roam free unprotected? I can see the benefits of my childhood, in theory, being able to get on my bike, ride for miles, being out from under adult supervision for hours at a time, but those theoretical benefits pale when stacked up against being abducted/raped/murdered.
