Looks like the Roseville, California, police department got a little fed up with social media posts going on about local “sex trafficking kidnappers” and “suspicious people.” And so it came out with this amazing document on its Facebook page: True facts about the fears its citizens feel and perpetuate.
Kudos to a department that seems determined to do its job. If called, it will investigate. If not called, it will not conjecture about non crimes. And in the meantime, it will do what it can to counter a culture determined to freak out over fake danger.

What I find interesting is that people are actually posting angry grams stating how dare the police pretend that such things aren’t happening and that they’re causing people to let their guard down against “potential” kidnappers…. -_-
In L.A., we frequently see Amber Alerts….and, invariably, the perpetrator is a non-custodial parent. (Except for the recent one which was simply a false police report and a hoax by a woman hoping to get her borrowed car back!)
