by Staff Writer - November 1, 2021 Fear mongering news reporters once again have blood on their hands. On October 30th, 2021, Channel 44 News in Indiana broadcast a story called "Beware of Halloween Stranger Danger, Know Your Local Sex Offender Registry" by Valerie Lyons. Atlanta Media News in the city where Devonne “DJ” David was killed posted this story on October 27, 2021,"If You See This Sign On Anyone’s Door This Halloween, Avoid That Home Like The Plague!" by Veronika Rogers. Theses are examples of many similar stories from around the country that completely ignore the facts that 93% to 95% of registered sex offenders will never commit another sex crime and that most new sex crimes are committed by family member or others known by the child. It also disregards that there is no evidence that a child was ever a victim of sexual abuse by a stranger while out trick-or-treating. No where do these stories tell parents that the greatest danger posed to trick-or-treaters is getting hit by a car. Maybe if News agencies had done a little less fear mongering this year and presented more fact based reports about the dangers of Halloween, these children may still be alive. In Atlanta, 11-year-old Devonne “DJ” David. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.[1] In TAYLORSVILLE, Utah, 13-year-old Karl Finch was struck by a car and died early Monday morning of his injuries.[2] An unidentified 15-year-old boy was struck by a Subaru on Halloween night and died in Auroea, Colorado.
