69,000 children abducted each year in the US
A cool organization has a video that helps kids recognize dangerous situations and how to avoid them according to this New York Times story (registration required):
Each year, the Department of Justice reports, about 69,000 children are abducted, 12,000 of them by people who are not family members. In nearly two-thirds of these abductions, the kidnapper is not a stranger to the child. Yet, beyond warning children not to talk to strangers or to go anywhere with people they do not know, and perhaps cautioning them to avoid deserted streets and unpopulated shortcuts, few youngsters are prepared to prevent an abduction or escape from one.
