* The mystery ''Kristy and the Missing Child'' is FULL of this. Jake Kuhn goes missing for two days. His recently divorced mother thinks that his father has kidnapped him (Mr. Kuhn had wanted to take Jake with him on a business trip and, per his ex-wife, hates taking no for an answer). It turns out that he didn't, but what really happened is just as unsettling: Jake had ducked into an under-construction house for shelter when it started to rain (he had stopped by the site to pick up some wood for a project) and ended up falling into the basement through the opening in the floor where basement stairs were set to eventually be put in, and since there were no stairs in place yet, he was unable to climb back out, and sat down there for multiple days, unable to do anything but yell for help and hope someone would hear, until he was finally located and rescued. Fortunately he receives nothing more than a few bumps and bruises, but it's still terrifying nonetheless!

** Additionally, Kristy ''accepts'' the date invitation from the guy making the hang-up calls. It's a very FamilyUnfriendlyAesop, especially considering the young and impressionable demographic the books appeal to. This isn't [[StalkingIsLove "cute" behavior that's okay because the guy's in love]], this is flat-out creepy and scary behavior that ''still'' results in the guy getting the girl he's chasing.

* In ''Kristy and the Copycat'', Kristy joins the school softball team, and is bullied into taking part in a hazing ritual for the new team members to spray-paint graffiti over an old shed. Subsequently, they find out that a fire started that night and a man was injured; and assume it must have been somehow their fault, since spray paint is flammable and they'd left their paint cans behind. It turns out [[spoiler:the fire was actually caused by other students, who deliberately started the fire in order to make themselves look like heroes for putting it out, but it blazed out of control]]. Either way, it's pretty scary to think about how a seemingly harmless prank can go dangerously wrong.

* Another mystery has someone setting fires to books throughout the local library--which has just started a program to get kids reading, meaning that there are dozens of small children packed in a place full of highly flammable objects.

When Mr. Rothman tells Stacey what happened at the original Masquerade Dance, he mentions that Liz was wearing an elaborate, but babyish fairy princess costume. When the two enter the gym the next day for a final decoration check, they find a dummy dressed in a similar fairy princess gown hanging from a noose tied to one of the basketball hoops.

* ''Happy Holidays, Jessi'' is rife with this. The main arc is that before Christmas and Kwanzaa, Jessi, Becca, and Squirt had gone shopping with Aunt Cecelia and gotten involved in a car accident on the way home. Squirt ends up in the hospital for the majority of the book, and Jessi thinks it's somehow her fault because she took off Squirt's car seat belt right before the accident. Granted, Aunt Cecilia told her to; the situation involved everybody blaming each other for awhile.
