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.

I just don't think we have the data needed to give you an accurate answer. I don't even use Facebook.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostComment

whoa, that was weird. is child abduction really a problem? I thouht that like 99%+ of abductions were by relatives/family members and that abductions were very rare by strangers.

I only made it through the first minute or so, waiting for her to say what she was going to say. Then I saw the video was over 20 minutes long. Nope. Not wasting my time on that. I'll find a different way to waste time.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
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.Comment

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

Haha. She is so pleased with herself for that. That wry smile she gives when she takes off the mask, albeit ever so brief, is just golden.Originally posted by falafel View PostPrepare 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.

Several people recognized Elizabeth Smart even though she wore a full-body mask with only her eyes showing. I think searchers would be able to identify your son.Comment

You guys made me watch 7 minutes of that before she triumphantly removed the kid's mask. Next time, please give a time stamp.
