Talk:Stranger danger/Archive 1

A "malevolent threat"?
Is there any other kind of threat? I'm changing it to just "threat". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.165.210.161 (talk) 06:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I sometimes wonder if the only people who write articles on Wikipedia are high schoolers (or at least people with no more than a high schooler's intellect).

"danger presented with the malevolent threat." Ok...and that is redundant. Changing it.

Can anybody tell me when this term entered our popular lexicon? From whence "stranger danger?" What is its history as a term? Benjamin R. Bombard72.195.135.108 03:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

"Stranger Danger" is referenced in Criminal Minds 112, aired 18 January 2006, as a federal education program. Whatever the truth is, that quote definitely isn't. Cosmogoblin 21:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

ludicrous

 * children are advised to not allow strangers to insert their genitals into their bodiy orifices.

I can't believe that these ludicrous statements have remained. Absolutely incredible. --Brideshead 20:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Stranger Danger was a term my wife Sandra Elland suggested at a 4-H meeting here in Omaha,Nebraska back in 1994. Since that time it has traveled worldwide. My wife passed away in 1998 and didn't see this event happen.Obed Elland

Stranger Danger has been around far longer than is written in here at least in New Zealand anyway. It is a poor program which creates anti-social behaviours in children and borderline paranoia and is a classic example of adults spreading their fears to children who as a consequence are not allowed to experience a normal appreciation for fellow human beings.

another bad comment

 * don't touch the genitals of dumby strangers, only those of people you know?  This is clearly vandalism.   I trust there are no objections to its deletion. HADC10 (talk) 06:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Indie Music?
How is an indie music website relevant to stranger danger? An attempt by the site to advertise, most likely. It does not belong on this page and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.156.197.214 (talk) 06:40, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

This is stupid, an ex pedophile says that kids are very light so they just pick them up and put them in a car. It's ok to talk to strangers or tell them directions. Happened to me lots of times when I was a kid and I was glad to help. --Atikonium (talk) 17:31, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate the criticism section of this article. It can be argued that child abductions are a psychological operation in the same vein as "serial killers' hoaxes to keep the masses divided — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:540:C401:EBA0:686E:E6F7:97DE:161F (talk) 15:46, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
