[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been wondering lately if it's weird to worry about kidnapping by a stranger, or if that was a thing that was heightened for us GenX kids. Obviously I know it happens, but I don't know the actual stats and if it should be an outsized worry. [/quote] There are ballpark 100 stranger abductions of Americans under 18 annually, out of ballpark 75 million Americans under 18. Of those 100, about 2/3 are teenaged girls who are sexually assaulted. It is exceptionally unlikely for an elementary schooler to be kidnapped by a stranger. https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh176/files/pubs/249249.pdf https://letgrow.org/crime-statistics/[/quote]
