    "The incident reportedly took place at around 3:45 p.m. that day, when an 10-year-old girl was walking with a friend near a park in the neighborhood. A man who was driving a white SUV reportedly pulled up next to the two, and the man told the girl that her brothers were in a serious accident, and that she needed to go with him.

    The girl, according to PCSO officials, asked the man for a code word, but the man did not know it, and drove off."


    It's a sad reflection, on us humans, that these sorts of events continue to happen. There will always be all kinds of deranged people.

    I hope that we will, someday, be able to identify such people before they do serious damage to others.

    Meanwhile, I ask everyone to protect your families. Drill a secret "code-word" into your kids' heads. Talk to the rest of your families, and friends, and neighbors about this critical subject.

    I believe that it's been proved that most abducted children willingly left with their abductor.

    Please take the time to make a little part of the world, a little bit safer.

    Especially the 10 year old girl.

    I have no connection to any part of this story, yet I am proud of her for maintaining her composure. She could have been vedy upset at hearing of her brothers' supposed accident.

    Also, the degenerate had obviously scouted out his intended victim.

    Have a general chat, but don't take it overboard. Kids are safer than at any time in human history, vastly safer than kids from generations past.

    Yet they are far more controlled.

    Resist this.

    Isn't it also true that most cases of child molestation, etc., occurs with people who are familiar to the child, friends or relatives?

    Phoenix and the surrounding areas are known for their high kidnapping numbers.

    This type of perversion broke out in the 1980's when my daughter was growing up. We lived in a new development where 80 percent of the homes had a school aged child. We had seminars from a combined local multi town police unit as to how to deal with this. The code work was one thing a policeman who specialized in thwarting scum like that thought us had a couple attempts to lure our kids so we had a group of dads which we rotated having one of us every 10 -12 houses "working" out from if the kids played there or out back if they were there. Our kids tended to play as a horde in one yard or another or riding big wheels bikes in the street or sidewalks. We were close enough to a city where scum like that lived but there were scum perverts from the burbs also.

    It may not take a village as you know who claimed but the name of our development had the word "Village " in it.
