PA: A Kidnapping Law Could Unravel a Life

Friday, June 21, started like any other day for ____ ____. The Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, resident finished his overnight shift at a food-packaging plant and stopped for breakfast around 7 a.m. before making his way home.

While driving through town, ____, 22, saw a girl who he thought was a friend of his younger sister. Rain appeared imminent to ____ and there was a slight drizzle, so he stopped to ask if she needed a ride.

“She said, ‘No,’ and I told her to be careful and drove home,” ____ told The Appeal. He went home to take a nap.

By the end of the day, he became the prime suspect in what police described as an attempted child abduction. …

Later that day Hinkle charged ____ with one count of felony luring a child into a motor vehicle. If convicted, ____ would most likely face incarceration in the county jail and he would have to register as a sex offender for 15 years. Full Article

So every parent who picks up their child from school could potentially be charged with “Luring a child into a motor vehicle” then, huh? What a ridiculous law!

Wow, what a nightmare! “The law is the law” is one of the worst excuses law enforcement can make.

Next time someone says, “Why aren’t people helping each other? What’s wrong with decency in this world?”, just point them to this article. Why risk helping anyone when laws like this can destroy your life?

“According to the Polly Klaas Foundation, only about 100 children nationally are kidnapped in a stereotypical stranger abduction each year. The majority of child abductions are committed by people the child knows, like a family member in the midst of a custody dispute.”

Oh no. The charade of endless child sex trafficking, abductions, rapes by strangers, “sex offender monsters” and other Pure BS hysteria has all crumbled apart from one factual sentence.
