Operating in the world means accepting a threshold of risk, sure. You can account for some as best you can without necessarily being overly restrictive, it's just hard to have an intuition of the odds when all you can address are black-and-white scenarios like "could someone be kidnapped right now, and how easily?". The mere cognizance is enough to make people fearful, so it requires some perspective to stay even. I'd have more fear for kids in teenage and young adult years, as either foolishness or being too trusting can lead to ostracization or even jail time.
