Parents think, “Oh, she’s fifteen, she’s been online for years now, she knows not to trust strangers.”

There are 8 billion of us on this planet, and the wide, vast majority have never been kidnapped.
It’s important to keep this in mind because, stoking fear is how people are lured to the dark side. And, our news media, run by billionaires, plays an active role in that.
