A lot of the hysteria I read now sounds like when I was in upper elementary. Two boys my age disappeared that year in Des Moines while they were delivering newspapers. Neither ever found.
After that....it was non-stop stories of white vans, candy and puppies. Every time a delivery van came through the county they were trying to steal kids.
I'm seeing a lot about human traffic issues, and I'm sure there is something to it, but I see something about every day about groups of men trying to steal women and kids from the mall and rest areas and truck stops......I'm sure these things happen, but it can't as prevalent as people think it is.
That said, women and girls in my household are runners. You can bet they'll be running with eye stabbers attached to them from now on.
