Yes, people organising stings against perverts trying to groom and meet up with teenage girls online would DEFINITELY help to stop random child snatchings outside of shops.

Yeah the James Bulger case was just SICK.

Tell me....whats changed since 1982ish when mums could and would leave prams outside shops?


T'net feeding addiction maybe?
Influx of foriegners maybe?

If it’s like Cherie says and you can see then it’s slightly better but still if you turn round to look at something or you’re paying then you can’t be watching them all the time.It may not take long for them to disappear or there could be a road nearby.
I think it’s wrong tbh.Just not worth the risk at all.

It's like many things in life...would you leave your child in a car whilst you ran into a shop?....those decisions however safe they SHOULD be, if the worse case scenario happens you would never forgive yourself for leaving your child vulnerable to those vile people that lurk amongst us.
It's just not worth the risk...

I know how hard it is with a pushchair in tiny shops with swinging doors and on busses etc.It’s a struggle.I’ve dealt with it loads and its even harder for women but you’re honestly better either struggling in with the pushchair or taking the baby out.
You can’t trust everyone.There’s too many wierdos about these days.

Always happens at work.

There was a cashier once who spent a lot of her shifts sitting with kids outside whilst their useless dad's were pissing about on the machines.

I do think there are probably more "Scary Looking People" in town centres than there were say 40 years ago, lots of addicts around etc., but that's more a perceived risk than an actual risk. In reality, the vast, vast majority of those "dodgy people", even the ones totally out of it on various substances, would absolutely never even think of harming a child in any way. Might try to chat to them and accidentally scare them but that's about it.
