Its not only that. Its the fear that something might happen between point A and point B. The worry that somebody might abduct your child in the three block walk from school. Sure it has happened and will happen again. But chances are they have a much better chance of getting hit by a car. Allthough I'm sure that is a major source of grief for some parents as well.
