That’s too bad

Gotta decide between a small risk of abduction or some risk of stealing a fun part of childhood.

Surprised to find a ~quarter of abductions are by strangers :o Mostly relatives for sure but 25% is high.

I’d like to think I’d YOLO it and the odds would play in my favor 😬 Same as walking to school or something… car could hit a family walking, but probablyyyy won’t.

Maybe in our Big Brother future abduction will be almost impossible due to iris scanners or thought police or something draconian. Yayy
