    i dont see how any of this has anything to do with anything i've ever said in my life. i have never commented on the fears of children under such circumstances

      You responded to @garbage talking about their feelings of vulnerability at a race track as an unmatched child that they shouldn't have been scared of being taken, which I responded to point out a child wandering the tracks would feel uncomfortable no matter what. You then responded going on about how hard kidnapping a kid is. My overall point was that his feelings of being vulnerable to capture, whether fully grounded in reality or not, were just as expression of the fear a child would feel in that environment. Your response of "um, actually, dragging a kid to races and leaving them alone won't lead to them being kidnapped" is an absurd response. Sure maybe he wouldn't be kidnapped, but what if he ate something he found and got sick, or broke something, or wandered into an area he shouldn't have? Anything could have happened to him in an environment he should not have been in alone.

        no, he talked about his feelings as an adult in hindsight about how an unwatched child could have been vulnerable to abductions. he did not at any point mention any feelings as a child, you invented that part.
