    Taught not to get abused? I think you mean “stranger danger” shit, which is taught but the way you phrased that is disturbing. It’s not a child’s job to “not get abused by ‘anyone’”. And all places in general should probably keep an eye on who comes in and out, except for niche/specialized services like vpns, warez, etc. That’s just called being responsible.

    Parks and other ‘loose’ non-stores though shouldn’t be held responsible, I agree.

      I just wanted a phrase which encompassed “don’t go home with strangers” and “don’t send strangers photos of yourself” and all other things which either are, or lead to, abuse.

        A very large percentage of child abuse, kidnapping and pedo issues involve the child’s own family. “Stranger Danger” isn’t the solution.

          In the very specific set of examples in the above posts, it’s basically only “Stranger Danger”. It’s literally about Omegle.

          But I do very much agree with your point when talking in a wider context

            When the context is “I blame the parents for not teaching their children to behave correctly” it kind of factors in.

          That doesn’t have any bearing on a comparison between two different types of “stranger danger”.

          It’s been a long time since I watched it so you’ll have to enlighten me.

          It’s worse. He’s a simp for the creator of Omegle.
