    Racist.

    We must have the 'worst' child abductors in the world.
    All these attempts and they never succeed.
    Guess we are lucky.

    Because trying to convince kids to get into a Ferrari is too easy


    But seriously it's quite obvious that they blend in and people usually don't take too much notice if one drives down the street

    A number plate with 4 stars on it will stick out like a white Transit.

    It was widely documented community folklore in Belfast during the troubles to distil the fears of either community to a spectral white car or van (whether a Loyalist, Republican or SAS vehicle) seen in respective areas at the time of atrocities.

    Maybe white is simply a blank mental canvas on which to represent simplistic folk terrors.

    Or maybe pedos, loyalists, IRA men and SAS units really do just dig white vehicles.

    Maybe we will never know.

    ... or social networking at it's best.

    Social networking can be over the top with people posting utter useless crap about themselves or taking pictures of what they had for dinner :pac: But it's said that information can spread in minutes these days thanks to it.

    So who knows. Maybe some poor child avoided the horrific fate thanks to the outburst of comments.

    Maybe, but the sceptic in me finds it hard to believe that there are 2-3 attempted abductions by 'foreign men' in vans country wide every day. It feels like scaremongering to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,648 ✭✭✭Cody Pomeray


    what a strange and upsetting stroke of bad luck that nobody ever seems to get the full number plate of these mysterious white vans.

    Typical that it has one of those intimidating Louth number plates though, implying all sorts of subversive activity

    DANGER! HYSTERIA! #IRATOOKMYKIDS!

    Sadly that is the problem with social networking or ... I guess people.
    Seriously, what type of person would create such a terrible lie? It's sad because you have to take things with a pinch of salt.

    Exactly!

    I read two identical status updates in two days recently where the potential abducter was a woman driving a car with a 'foreign man' on the ground in the back.Two different coloured cars and opposite ends of the country. Freaky!!!
