Why The Nice Man Didn't Save the Toddler
Sometimes, when I try to explain how frenzied we have become about the real but extremely rare crime of childhood abduction, or of rampant pedophilia in general, I compare our era to 1692 Salem. There was no way, back then, back there, to convince the average person: Don't you see you're being swept up on a wave of mass hysteria? History will judge you as totally mad on the subject of witches! (Though eventually, I suppose, that'll be great for tourism)
