This is so sad. Two young girls, outside for a walk in nature. Should have been a safe day. I remember, back in the '70's, going out with friends all day on our bikes.

Now, we keep kids inside, with a myriad of video games, tv, computers. A generation of children too afraid to go outside for a walk, or play.

You only have to take a stroll through the Doe and missing threads to realise it wasn't safe in the '70s either. Parents were just told 'they ran away, they'll come home when they're hungry' and no police work was done. And if they did turn up dead from a stranger killing, odds are there wouldn't be a suspect caught and convicted even if they actually identified the victim, which often, they didn't. DNA changed the game as far as that kind of crime was concerned.

MOO

It wasn't safe in the 70s either. We just didn't have the internet to hear about all that was going on with children (or adults) that weren't local news. I can remember a guy that would drive really slow by a middle school. I lived 3 doors down and from my front yard I could see him slowing drive by on 3 of the 4 streets. He'd circle it.

Without going into too much detail, the kids all knew he was a problem. I was about 11 or 12, wearing a swimsuit, and walking to my friends house a few blocks away. And here came his green truck, slooooowly passing me, and doing a U-turn at the end of the block. I made it hope by crawling through bushes. I knew what he was after. Glad not to be the equivalent of a WS thread.

And that has got to be one of a LOT of different cases with children from every decade IMO.
