How many total videos are there on Facebook with mothers barely containing tears, contending that their children wearing masks makes them easy prey for the traffickers? I, an infrequent Facebook user, have seen 2 or 3.

As for abductions, I don't know the exact percentage, but my guess is it's a lot closer to 99% than it is to 0%.

Here are the numbers:
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, roughly 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States -- that's roughly 2,000 per day. Of those, there are 115 child "stranger abduction" cases each year, which means the child was taken by an unknown person.Last edited by beefytee; 08-12-2020, 09:22 AM.

I wonder how many of the 800k reported missing each year actually stay missing? Likely a fraction of a single percent. But there is no fear and there is no money in a reality where less than one tenth of one percent of children going missing each year.Last edited by Donuthole; 08-12-2020, 09:37 AM.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

I actually think its a great idea. I am so sick of my kids asking to buy a treat or a toy or whatever every time we go to the store. I'm going to duct tape their mouths and cover it with masks next time to maintain my sanity.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

You guys made me watch 7 minutes of that before she triumphantly removed the kid's mask. Next time, please give a time stamp.
I could not take her seriously, for she was not driving a car. And her eyebrows were distracting."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

There's a group of old ladies in the ward next to ours that look to be pushing this stuff. Seems like it's making its way through teh Mormon network."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
