Is stranger danger all it's cracked up to be?

Question

90% of sex offences are familial or friend related. That means, the victim knows the assailant very well!

Answer 1

In today's society, you cannot trust anyone. If you are refering to sex offender issues, the stanger danger issue is used to help pass laws to get votes.

The sex offender residency laws do NOT protect anyone, they are a false sense of security. If a person is committed to harming a kid, they'll get in their car and drive somewhere.

Most sex offenses occur with someone the person knows, a majority is a family member.

Stranger Danger is only used to bring fear into peoples minds. The whole world is crazy and we have a bunch of lunatics, so you need to be weary of everyone these days.

And yes, most sex offences occur with someone they know.
