Child abductions are quite rare. Your kid is MUCH more likely to be hurt in a car accident riding with you than they are to be abducted while they walk to school.

Abductions make HUGE news stories, precisely because they are RARE. Car accidents, on the other hand, are just barely news at all because they're so common.

Let your kids walk to school. If you're still afraid for them, have them walk with friends.

Getting struck by lightening is rare too, but I wouldn’t purposely stand out in the middle of a storm.
