Sadly, it's difficult to compare the hand-wavy benefit (letting children interact with men) with the real cost of having something happen to your child.

As a parent, I'm of the opinion that the media blows kidnappings and the like way out of proportion. Even then, it's difficult to look at the data objectively, because it's your children.



Kidnapping and child abuse are almost always relatives or friends of the family. Strangers, statistically, are very safe.
