We hear about children being abducted almost every day. Sometimes, it’s someone they know. But mostly, they’re strangers who have somehow been able to entice little children to go with them. And for those children, the end result nearly always breaks our heart. Is there a sadder story then when we hear about a child who’s been abducted and never seen again or in the worst case, found dead?
Yet, in spite of parents, schools, police officials and TV stations best efforts to teach children about the dangers that talking to strangers can bring, we are horrified when we see how their sweet nature and innocence can be used against them.
Here’s what some viewers in Paducah, Ky., had to say when they saw the story that WPSD, the NBC affiliate there, aired about how easy it is for some strangers to lure a child away from safety.
Sad part is we should teach our kids to help people but the way the world is they can’t because u never know who really needs help versus a person trying to trap you. It’s a sad world. Duncan
A child shouldn’t help anyone, they don’t know. That’s why we hear about children missing. Right? Joseph, a concerned citizen
According to Cathy Crecelius, WPSD’s director of promotion/public affairs, “It was a lively discussion. We also had almost 100 shares on one of the Infographics. That may not sound like much to you, but in our market, it’s a lot!”
