She looks like she would . <| sep |> Lol who would just conveniently have that saved at all times ? <| sep |> It was a different time in Australia back then . This case singlehandedly changed how Australian parents supervised their kids and how society viewed strangers around kids . Back then , there was no risk for the abductor because people naively thought nothing of a man with 3 kids , even if he seemed not to be a family member , because the social construct was that it took a community to raise a child and the thought that a stranger might harm children never crossed their minds . People were unbelievably trusting and willing to believe the best of everyone they came across . By the same token , children were taught to obey their elders unquestioningly , no matter who they were . All an abductor had to do was say Mum said for me to come get you and they would be implicitly believed and obeyed because all adults had their best interests at heart , right ? . The Beaumont Case was a pivotal event in Australian society and was a huge and heartbreaking wake up call to parents . An abductor wouldn ' t find it nearly so easy today but back then , it was a pedo ' s dream
