[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4756405, member: 63706"] Probably due to helicoptering parenthood. Used to be that your kid could be outside playing all day, show up at home a little late and no one would even think to call the police. Now, if some Karen can't see her little Karen Jr for two minutes at a store, it's a federal case. I don't know enough about Russian culture, but if they are more likely to have single income households, then they are also less worried about having to pump out more kids to replace any that die or get abducted. For a woman in the US, having a child can put a major damper on her career, so she plans it out, and decides one or two, then done. So if something happens to her one or two, it's a much bigger deal. Also, as pointed out by iwbf, they have a smaller population. Adjusting for that, our rate is only 3 times higher. Besides, don't you think it would be easier to abduct kids in Russia and get away with it? Or some third world country? Some of those you could probably still legally buy children. Why risk your trafficking operation by taking kids in the country with the resources to take down your operation? [/QUOTE]
