NOW GROWN-UPS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STRANGER DANGER (Letter published in Dom Post, October 22)

We can only hope that the awful, awful Tostee/Wright story (Private night, public view, October 21) will serve as a warning not just to young women but to men also, not to risk this kind of encounter.
Remember the tragic Blanche Dubois, in A Streetcar Named Desire, who “depended on the kindness of strangers”, and her horrible end in a lunatic asylum.
It seems modern mores require that not only little children but adults too, should know about Stranger Danger.
