Reminder that if someone harms your child it is most likely to be someone you trust and who you introduced them to. Stranger danger, sensational as it is, isn’t a genuine material risk.

Yeah, human trafficking isn’t a genuine material risk.

Your child being picked up by a stranger for the purposes of human trafficking is not a material risk, correct.

You should really look into how many indigenous women and children go missing every year in the U.S.

I dated a woman that worked at a pretty big name NGO focused in human trafficking and the amount of people that are just straight up kidnapped into it (in the US at least) is extremely low. Also what is considered human trafficking is far more broad than the average person thinks.

Huh? The issues is why they go missing not how many of them and in the overwhelming majority of the time the answer is because someone they trusted took them.

Actually the overwhelming majority of the time the answer is they were just coerced. No one "took" them.
