This.  Put the label inside if you have safety concerns.  But I don't think of my kid's first and last name as "private" information.  It doesn't take a genius to figure out a child's name, so if your kids are going to get kidnapped that very specific and unlikely way, it will probably happen without a clothing label helping it.[/quote]

It’s not unlikely. It is a known tactic. [/quote]
It's a tactic, but not a common one. The most common lures are offering a ride, offering candy or sweets, asking the child questions, offering money, and using an animal.

From NCMEC, the only people who really analyze this data: http://www.missingkids.org/theissues/nonfamily#bythenumbers [/quote]

Oh my goodness, are you stupid? Don’t you think that having a child’s name  available to a potential abductor might only enhance these other tactics? Anyway, whatever. Put your child at risk. Go for it. Stick a big label with his first name on his backpack so everybody knows that that is his first and last name.  You do you.  I personally am going to not do that in order to minimize the risk. And, I hope some other parents have read this thread and also learned something about the potential danger that that presents.
