&gt; How many times did a stranger talk to you as a child? More than none? Were you kidnapped?<p>Just to share anecdotes, I had a few memorable experiences as a kid (and probably many more that I don&#x27;t remember).<p>A very nice person helped fix my bike chain when it slipped off the gears and got wedged against the frame. Without them, I&#x27;d have a long walk home with a stuck back wheel.<p>On another occasion, while I was playing outside my house, a man came by and invited me to attend his church. My parents weren&#x27;t keen on that, and I was rather uninterested so we never took him up on the offer. I presume he was a Jehova&#x27;s Witness or a Mormon.
