Well, here’s the deal: in terms of becoming a crime victim, a child is incredibly safe. In terms of being hit by a car, drowning oneself (often accidentally in a pool), or other accidental kinds of death are extremely risky for unsupervised children. My best word on this matter is that focusing solely on crime is missing the real threat: that the threat of accidental death is underrated. When I see how much supervision is going on for a lot of things with kids, the aspect and threat of serious accidents, and not neccessarily murder or kidnapping, really is there.

I agree that there are dangers kids can get into. No doubt about it.

Tell you what, with a choice of a kid falling and getting hurt or being abducted, raped, tortured, and be held in captivity for hours or years, I’ll worry more about the later.
