Just imagine if it took them to a park or candy store where there were also children around. Terrifying!

> I'd feel pretty uncomfortable with a random stranger and his friends showing up to my kid's daycare. I hope the apps have gotten better location filtering in place since 2015.

Wouldn't this be the onus of the daycare? To allow/disallow strangers?

If the app points them to a high-security military installation, they're not going to get in.

Other strangers not using the app can still show up at the daycare...

And presumably as soon as you see it's a day care you can say "neat" and move on to the next location.

I'd be less worried about a few guys showing up because a randomness app told them to than a guy showing up because he wanted to.

Trust me, daycares unfortunately already have to deal with unwanted people, often non-custodial parents who may or may not have restraining orders against them, showing up.

Maybe you should give the apps a go too. To get out of your tiny little bubble.

Would you feel uncomfortable if the author was a woman?

It is sad that in today's society men are immediately perceived as a potential threat to a child.

The fear mongering is getting ridiculous.

I made no mention of the fact that the author is a male.

Sure you did. Emphasis mine.

You didn't answer the parent question either.
