No they aren't.
I listened to a show a few years ago on CBC radio, in short, the researcher was saying that abductions and child related crimes were not increasing, rather the knowledge of them was increasing. There was a time when our news did not cover an abduction in Sydney or Atlanta.
My kids have the run of the neighbourhood, within set boundaries (which mainly is to reduce the distance I have to go to find them).
