Do they really though? In a lot of families kids are at school, then driven off to soccer/dance/whatever in a lot of other time.

It really depends on the exact framing of the question.

Are children safer ALONE with a random stranger or with a family member? Why is the child alone with a random stranger?

There are some broad daylight kidnappings, but they are relatively rare. They are relatively rare because it's much easier for a kidnapper to abscond with someone who trusts them.
