thank you
"Concerns today are drugs being sold in parks, unleashed vicious dogs, bullies, pedophiles and so much more."

i think its all brainwashing and fear mongering.. its MUCH safer today than it was not so long ago.. i mean really.. ok sure if you are one of the few in a REALLY bad area then maybe i get it.. but by in large is rampant paranoia and fear.. and with tech as it there days you can put a geo fence around your kids to know when they stray too far.. you can have them tracked, monitored if you really want.. but i think people have been led to believe that the world is not safe when really 99% of the time things are just fine.. and for that 1% we lock the world up in fear ;-(

That is a possibility but when you live in a decent area and see it first hand it blows your mind. 2 months ago my niece decided to let her 6 year old venture to the park himself to give him some independence, after all, it was just across the street. There was a dog attack just 20 feet from him. She said just a coincidence but it sure gives a parent butterflies in their stomach knowing it could have been her son. anyway, you are right, one can not be paranoid over what might happen. Think on the negative and the negative will happen.
