when actual rates of childhood abduction and abuse are at historic lows.
So you’re saying that parents are more cautious than ever, and childhood abduction rates are at an all time low, and you don’t think maybe those two things are related?
Do you also think we should stop vaccinations when the diseases they protect against are at historic lows?
Besides which, the overall rate of child abductions only matters if we’re talking about the measures that society should take.
On a personal level, if my child got abducted and I didn’t do everything in my power to prevent that, I doubt I’d be comforted by the knowledge that it was extremely unlikely to have happened. I wouldn’t walk into my child’s empty bedroom and say to my grieving wife, “Man, what were the odds?”
I don’t want to actively track their every move because I’m not a psycho, but there’s no downside to giving myself the ability to find them in an emergency.
