Talk:Stranger danger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can anybody tell me when this term entered our popular lexicon? From whence "stranger danger?" What is its history as a term? Benjamin R. Bombard72.195.135.108 03:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

"It was invented in 2007 when Evan Watkins ran around molesting every child in the city of New York, people say that this molestation rampage was inspired by Lauren Hopkins, in an earlier 2006 molestation rampage." This doesn't seem true. Anyone want to delete it?

"Stranger Danger" is referenced in Criminal Minds 112, aired 18 January 2006, as a federal education program. Whatever the truth is, that quote definitely isn't. Cosmogoblin 21:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ludicrous

• children are advised to not allow strangers to insert their genitals into their bodiy orifices.

I can't believe that these ludicrous statements have remained. Absolutely incredible. --Brideshead 20:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

This has to be a joke. I'm deleting this line. — Paul G 06:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Stranger Danger was a term my wife Sandra Elland suggested at a 4-H meeting here in Omaha,Nebraska back in 1994. Since that time it has traveled worldwide. My wife passed away in 1998 and didn't see this event happen.Obed Elland

[edit] another bad comment

• don't touch the genitals of strangers, only those of people you know? This is clearly vandalism. I trust there are no objections to its deletion. HADC10 (talk) 06:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
