re: Abducted in Plain Sight

I grew up in the late 70's and early 80's, and I look back at some decisions my parents made regarding me and my brother and just shake my head. Mom would leave us home alone all the time before we were really old enough to do such a thing, and she'd just tell one of the neighbors we were there alone and to keep an eye out. She had full trust in our neighbors like they did in B, so it really doesn't blow my mind some of their actions up to the first abduction. After that though, all bets are off. They were complete idiots.

the country literally created the 911 system because so many parents at the time were doing what you just described
