What are they thinking?

 Have you been driving and seen the cute decals on the back of a minivan or SUV?  They come in many patterns from Mickey Mouse to Karate to Flip Flops show here.  I realize that people have some need to display what family favorite activity or group or club they are aflilated with.  I think that sometimes this done without any thought to the real world that they are living in.  Child predators are all around, just search the Megan’s Law database in California.  I did, and found within 5 miles of where I live there are 3 people convicted of various crimes against children. 

One major factor in these travesties is familiarity, someone asking a child, “hey come here” is completely different from, “Hi, kailey, your dad Chris asked me to bring you home.”  See the difference.  If you see anyone with the names of their kids plastered on the back of their car, stop them and tell them what they are doing.  Maybe the decals needs to look like this one.
