    Really moronic take.

      Somebody doesn’t have a sense of humor it seems

        You’re joking, obtusely, about abduction and murder of children. You expect people to be amused?

        Sure, normalizing paranoia is very funny and definitely doesn’t have any real world negative consequences. Har-de-har-har.

  Mine too. I gave them a cheap Casio and told them what time to be home, and they come home on time. If they don’t, they know they’re getting consequences, like not being allowed to go out on their own.

  They know to not talk to strangers, and they know our phone numbers and address. They’re fine.
