      If it were 800,000, then 1 in every 5 children would have been abducted at one time.

      That figure doesn't pass the common sense test.

      hanging with kids you don’t know makes you look like a fucking creeper.

      That's so sad. Children and adults should be able to be friends.

          Doesn't matter. Our entire society is just as hostile as you towards child-adult relationships. Even actual parents have had the police called on them because they were with their (adopted) kids that didn't look like they could be related.

          Other countries aren't like that. It's really relaxed because those countries didn't have decades of milk carton propaganda scaring the shit out of them about "stranger danger".

            Yeah. Fuck Japan, but this just makes me think of that tv show about Japanese kids going around doing little errands like going down to the store, and all the adults around are very nice and willing to help them. In the US people would be terrified to go near a 4 year old with their parents not present, and the cops would probably be called.
