“No,” she said. “I don’t worry about the man in the white van, and I’ll tell you why. I’m a Cook County public defender. I have been for twenty years. And never in my twenty years of working there have I ever seen a single child abduction case. Not one. I’ve seen parents who abused their children. I’ve seen parents who killed their children or whose relatives or spouses killed their children. But I work in the building where any case in Cook County would come if someone abducted a stranger’s child, and there just aren’t any. In twenty years, I have never seen a child abduction case.”
