Don't Let Your Kids Talk to Strangers

This is common knowledge but it really strikes home now that we see what has happened to the 3 girls who got into the car with Ariel Castro, a complete stranger, a decade ago in Cleveland Ohio.  This type of thing scares me to death.
We look forward to spending our Golden Years watching our children and their children mature.  It is one of the sheer pleasures of life.  To think that it can all be snuffed out in a moment of inattention by one of them is terrifying.  It is unimaginable, completely incomprehensible what kind of horrors those poor girls have gone through over the past decade because of one little slip-up.  This can happen to any of our kids or grandkids simply by their having one little weak moment when an evil stranger approaches them.  What little kid would say "No" when someone asks them to help them find their lost puppy or kitten?  The same thing goes if a stranger approaches them and tells them that their Mom has been in an accident and she sent him to pick her up and take her to the hospital.  This is absolutely horrifying to me.  Let's make sure we drill this into our kids.  We can't just take it for granted that they would know better.  We need to talk to them now... today.  Please, just do it.
