While it is valuable to understand and review, with our children, the lures and statistics that people use to abduct children, the key element here is that school-aged children (especially those between the ages of 5 and 11) may not have developed the conceptual reasoning to understand that a person who is acting nice, may still be a mean person. To try to overcome this, monitor your childrens' activities and friends while also talking with them and role-playing with them the acts of running and screaming if they are approached by even a nice stranger. "No adult stranger should ever approach you!"
