That’s one take…and I swear a lot of kids that had this as their bed time story didnt see everything as pedo tho. It was about disguising true intentions for most of us. At least that was it on the face of it but mostly it was about a thrill of a scary story.
Other stories such as the news is what scared our parents who repeated these literal stories of pedophilia to us. That’s where fact was way more messed up than any fiction taught us to not talk to strangers but even then kids were kidnapped off the street regardless so helicopter parents were born from that.
