I was at the park here pushing my daughter in the swing. There was a little girl next to us who couldn't reach the pull up bar. She asked me 3 times to lift her up. Her mom had been sitting in the car reading a book, we were the only ones in the park. I ignored here for a while, then I finally did it. Very carefully with my arms all the way out, I grabbed her wrists and lifted her up the 3 inches. Her mom came running out of the car, "time to go home!" grabbed her and ran off.
I'm definitely not teaching my kids the stranger danger thing. I teach just the opposite, I make them talk to strangers. Most abductions/molestations are by someone the kid knows. The odds a stranger is going to give them a problem is vanishingly small. I'm way more worried that they'll grow up anxiety and antisocial issues than they'll be abducted. It's not like they are allowed to leave momma's sight anyway.
