The bully thing can be taken care of relatively easy (if the teachers would allow it), but the kidnapping and NAMBLA dangers are very real. All of which can be blamed on a bunch of limp wristed judges, who release these creeps to prey on our children. Along with the fact that their now importing creeps from Mexico to prey on our children. It's all a vicious cycle (circle), people have just adapted the way they raise their children to the situations they find themselves in. If the d@mn politicians, judges, and lawyers would act in a sane manner, some of these problems might disappear.

Someday the men in our neighborhoods will vigilante-style take care of the problem created by limp-wristed judges. When the going gets tough and the fight is mortal, men -- and only men, not women, but men -- alone will save the day, as they always have.
Just because a male is a sissy doesn't mean he isn't a man. That's God's truth. And it's why I'm eternally optimistic with regard to boys and men.
This is a leftover from the "stranger danger" myths and utban legends of the late '80's /early nineties. Your boy is in no more danger of being kidnapped than being hit by lightning--possible but just barely--unless he has a noncustodial parent who can't leave it alone. In any case just teach him what we all were taught fifty years ago--don't talk to strangers. Ain't nothing new.
