These kids are getting kidnapped and killed these days and no one is doing anything about it. This is written for everyone. Kids who is walking out late at night alone and the  consequences for kidnapping. The article is saying that this situation can happen to anybody. We should watch out, pay close attention to are surroundings.

    Its so scary to not know when and where it could happen. Whats even scarier is that it could happen to anyone. I walk home in downtown and sometimes when its dark out and its hard to feel safe. I wish we could do something to help us feel safer.

  3. Frightening to know that something like that could happen so easily. It's a great thing that he got arrested.

  4. its an awful thought that someone is willing to do such awful things to these children. to anyone who is sane, the idea of stealing a child away from their family is an awful idea but the fact that its so common today is chilling.
