But I think we have too much of a tendency to judge people on what could have happened.

99.9% of the time when a parent loses a child, a stranger will take the child to the store counter. Yet the online mob will imagine a parking lot full of child molesters and people driving recklessly, rather than the reality that most places in the US are safe for a briefly misplaced child.
