I don't absolutely know if there's any official or actual correlation, but keep in mind that this was not too long after several high profile kidnappings/abductions/murders of children like Etan Patz and Adam Walsh. The 1980s were likely the peak of the "stranger danger" hysteria or panic, particularly after the Adam Walsh tragedy.
