You may be right. As someone pointed out up the thread, abductions are vanishingly rare, in terms of overall population. Car accidents are terribly common, with injuries or fatalities to both passengers and pedestrians.
We did have a little girl murdered at our local mall last year. But, she was abducted, along with her mother, and both were killed and left in a vehicle in the mall parking lot. I suppose we should not take our kids to malls.
