It's not actually.
Someone wanting to abduct a specific child is, contrary to popular belief, multiple orders of magnitude more common than someone wanting to abduct an arbitrary child.

Someone even cited registered sex offender statistics. Trying to explain to them that it was more likely that a child would be kidnapped by a friend or family member - or to die in an auto or airplane accident - was seemingly impossible.
