Heck, she could be 40, 50, or 20 for all I care. Chris Hansen is a douchebag and a shoddy excuse for a journalist. He makes his living preying on fear and anxiety, creating an atmosphere of hysteria that has a dramatic consequence on children: paranoid parents will hover over them and trap them indoors.
I hope his wife kicks him in the nuts and leaves him.
A post I made in 2008:
Creepy people don't live on every dark corner, nor do they ever look creepy. If someone's going to touch your kid, its probably going to be someone you know. Its probably going to be a relative. There's a much, MUCH bigger statistical chance of YOU molesting your kid than the old guy who lives next door.
The media perpetuates this idea that someone, somewhere, is hiding behind a bush waiting to pounce on your child and abduct/rape/murder them. Yes, it happens, about 100 times a year. There are 73 million children (people under 18) in the US. The odds are almost nonexistent.
Lying to kids about the real world ("OMG! EVERY GROWN-UP WANTS TO TOUCH YOU!") results in distrust and disobedience. Eventually we all become adults and realize that there is no reason to be afraid of the outside.
Chris Hansen is an irresponsible twit and a disease on America.
