Kids sure are priceless.

One of the things I hammer into my kids (I'm a school teacher of 9-10 year olds) is how to handle this very situation. Reading number plates, describing cars, describing people, clothing, how to get help and avoid being a victim etc.

Then, when something like this is on the news, we have a casual chat about it, and go over it again and again the following day. Don't care if it fits into the timetable or not. Better to be prepared than confused or unsure in a situation where every action and second may count.

These vermin will be more brazen now that they know there are more kids around.
