Its a sad world how children can't even play outside with their friends without some predator preying on them. These predators cause so much pain for so many people every year. I can't even imagine the pain of not speaking to your child, of not knowing when or even if you'll see them again. In this case these good Samaritans' were amazing they knew what to do to keep the child safe. The sad thing is that most of these predators are put on probation and are to register as sex offenders and let free to walk our streets, where no child is safe. As parents we need to talk to our children on regular basis about what could happen if a stranger comes along and how to react to it. The best thing we could all do to help is to pay attention to all the missing persons advertisement and keep your eye out for them. Our families and children should not have to live life in fear.
