Just last week there was a local news story about police investigating a possible child luring incident near a school. The news story and Facebook posts had a picture of a white van from surveillance video. The teachers saw what was happening and made sure the girl was safe. The story was light on details, and there has been no follow-up, so it makes you wonder if the interaction turns out to be innocuous. The idea of "bad guy with white van" is so ingrained in our culture, that maybe we see danger that is not always present.
