    “I was not panicking as I know the roads and know he is mature enough to walk there without incident,” she says.

    The sheriff disagreed.

    “She kept mentioning how he could have been run over, or kidnapped or ‘anything’ could have happened,” recalls Patterson.

    Even if his mother was walking there too, it’s not likely going to do much to stop a car from running him over. She’d just be some extra mass to fling.

    Kidnappings – and a number of other serious crimes – are usually done by people who are known, not random strangers.

    There are only between 150-300 kidnappings of children by strangers each year in the US. The other 200,000 kidnappings each year are by relatives.

    Even more lopsided than I’d expected.

    And as for “anything” happening, I’d imagine that “anything” could have happened at home, too.

          Seaching Kagi. I used to use googles when I used Google as my search engine; now I use Kagi.

            Why not just say search, searching, or searches?

            Thanks. I hadn’t heard of it. Looks like it’s a paid subscription for the search engine. Would you recommend it as a general search engine for everyday use?

              Well, it depends on what you want it for.

              I wanted specifically to find a search engine that has a subscription-based model and does not generate its income from data-mining and ads. It doesn’t retain search logs. For me, it’s what I had wanted for some time – a service where I was the customer rather than the product – so I am pretty happy with it.

              It has some other features, but I generally don’t care much about them other than its “Fediverse Forums” search lens, which lets one search the Threadiverse (Lemmy/mbin/piefed).

              looks

              It looks like they also have a Usenet archives search engine that I haven’t looked at. I might look into that, as I used to use Usenet archives search engines.

              I’m happy with it. Depends on what you’re looking for, though.
