Nope, its not exaggerated stuff… you don’t read the newspaper or watch Geo news, do you? And I have a friend who herself saw a driver doing weird stuff with a kid in the car… she tried following him but with the traffic it was impossible, I’ve also heard a complaint from another parent who kicked out their driver cuz her child was acting strange around him, kids get sacred easily and don’t tell their parents whats going on, its really scary. And there are so many pyschos out there these days… so please do not leave your kids unsupervised with maids or drivers… you cannot trust anyone anywhere these days (US is even worse).
Another first-hand experience… my MIL and SIL were recently held hostage by some carnappers, they were outside Motta’s around 8 o’ clock in the evening, sent the driver inside to get my MIL’s medicines and these 2 guys just got into the car and drove it away… thankfully my MIL had the presence of mind to keep calm and talked to them beta beta kar kay and kept asking them kay beta please let us go, she was so scared about my 16 yrs. old SIL who was in the car too… Allah ka shukar hai those guys let them go after 20-25 mins. My dad got his cellphone snatched from him twice, at gunpoint… Karachi is really not how it used to be… not safe at all 
And we go visit every year since my in-laws and parents live there and we miss them a lot :hinna:
