Ehh, I disagree. Hysteria and FUD can take on lives of their own, living inside the minds of people who let them in even a little. Just because a number of people are upset by something (or believe they should be upset by something) doesn't actually mean it's worth being upset about. The news/media takes these small concerns and blows them out of proportion to sell ad space, which compounds the hysteria. Example: terrorism. It's a nice trigger word in the USA, but how many people are killed by terrorism vs car crashes or unhealthy habits? Yes, terrorism should be reported on, but it's certainly not as important to anyone's everyday life as not eating shit food and texting like an asshole while driving. Kids just don't get kidnapped or molested by strangers enough to be statistically significant. Kids are almost always molested by relatives, in a private setting. Kidnapping by stranger is even more rare. Sure, it can happen. Just like a comet could hit Earth. Should we sit around worrying about it, while our children re doomed to have us constantly looking over their shoulders until they're 18 and have no sense of self-purpose?
