Jason Gideon:
You know what program did the most harm to this country, in terms of crimes like this? Child abduction?

Det. Charlotte Russet:
No.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
Stranger danger.

Jason Gideon:
Flooded the schools with it.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
I remember them coming to my classroom. It was Officer Friendly with stranger danger coloring books.

Jason Gideon:
Taught a whole generation about a scary man in a trench coat, hiding behind a tree. Then we learned that strangers are only a... fraction of the offenders out there. Most are people you see every day - your family, your neighbors, schoolteachers. You know the rest. Prepared our children for 1% of the danger, made them more vulnerable to 99%. So we've been wrong before. All we can do is learn from it, and hopefully be better next time.
