Fear Porn...it’s not like child molesters were invented a year or so ago.
Kids had to deal with them back then. A strange car or person following you, go to a major street. Then walk into a store, a fire station, a library and tell the workers there what is happening.
If you don’t get used to that, you never encounter it because you’re inside all the time you don’t develop that sense of danger and know what to do about it.
I knew a guy working within a nonprofit who told me back in the 80's that one in seven children had been kidnapped. I was stunned - that crap was the rage - big money maker with liberal nonprofits. Remember milk cartons with missing kid's pictures, parents afraid to let their kids play outside, and all the other 'fear porn' crap.
It was a liberal scam, a lie.
I confronted him and said, 'in my whole life I have never met in person whose child was kidnapped. If what you're saying is true I would know someone or know someone who knew someone who's child had been kidnapped."
After a few minutes of back and forth he told the truth: he said that when a noncustodial parent is more than 10 minutes late returning a child to the custodial parent it counts as a 'kidnap'.
