This has occurred to me too. I am not sure (as I am not up to date with the stats) if abductions are up or down as a %, but if you think of it like supply and demand, the supply of easily abductable children is way down. What I would suggest then is that, those that are left to roam are in more danger than those who aren't, because there aren't as many alternate targets. There are also fewer witnesses now too. So even if you think it is a big scare, there is less, to use a vaccination analogue (incorrectly I know), herd immunity.
