So because a mother had a well-reasoned fear for her children, there needs to be backlash against her? That's bullshit. The worst thing that can come out of this is awareness. When I was a child, I recall two instances where I could've been abducted. An old neighbor wanted me to go "pick tomatoes" with him in the middle of winter. I was 3 in this instance and fortunately, my mother came over and intervened. When I was about 12 some low-life was leaving work at a factory by my house and pulled into my driveway because he "wanted to watch me skateboard." Fortunately, my mother came outside and the guy's demeanor changed. Without a watchful eye, I easily could've been victimized and I tell you, with fire in my eyes, that if I ever witnessed an abduction, or any harm to a child, the perpetrator would "disappear" off this planet, never to be seen again. Stay vigilant.
