Honestly if we just exterminated all 24x7 news channels and reduced all TV news coverage to half hour local + half hour national, and ok + a one hour news magazine on Sunday... a most of the panic and hysteria amongst the weak thinkers would be eliminated. Kids would be allowed to play outside again. Parents would be able to sleep at night again.
+1. It's a myth that there's a perv hanging out behind every tree waiting to snatch up unattended kids. Turns out that the vast majority of pedophilia cases are committed by family members or family friends, NOT complete strangers. But I had to grow up with all that "stranger danger" BS anyway.
