Your perspective has changed and the fear or caution you originally focused on this issue was adjusted. When it comes to child abduction, we must never ever quit working to reduce the risk of it happening to any child. The potential should never be minimized. By the same token the threat of this happening to you should not be over emphasized either. By keeping this issue in proper perspective, we will move more consistently as a society toward finding solutions to the serious issues child abduction presents.
Concern promotes an intelligent effort to find solutions.
Fear promotes emotional responses, which rarely result in anything other than generating more fear. Most people would rather not think about an issue as uncomfortable as child abduction. Therefore, they don't. The problem with this approach is that it becomes a catalyst for producing a greater sense of fear when the issue does come up. The media has been instrumental in helping to find missing children, by reporting such stories.
