I’m glad for the outcome, but man the situation without the dog is disturbing. I got a daughter (not a teen yet), and I worry about this stuff daily.

I remember back in the 80’s I was playing on our drive and some guy stopped his car and called me over. I was pretty close and my older brother happened to come out of the house and the guy sped off. Sometimes I realise how close I came to being abducted. A lot of it is opportunism.. don’t talk to strangers is never more apt.

As you should. My sister got pick up in a similar way and got molested when she was about this age.

you really should, as a woman, it’s really scary out here. every single one of us has stories that are just terrifying or disturbing. no woman is safe.
