I miss the days when children could sell fruit or vegetables or lemonade unsupervised without worrying what could happen to them.
So do I; people complain about kids staying inside all the time, but with all the criminals running around, what else are we supposed to do to keep our kids safe?
Those days are still here.
Of course, ignorance is required to not worry - but that was true years ago.
Hundreds of thousands of kids disappeared in the thirties, forties, and fifties. They called them “runaways”.
Now we call those same kids “cold case files” and “unsolved mysteries. “
Me too! Apparently, Howells has three young children at his home. The Mail shows a photo from Facebook. It’s wonderful these two girls were able to escape but I doubt the investigation is more than just begun. Good for the police to make quick arrests.
In 1800 the planet hit 1 billion people. There are now 7.06 billion people.
I miss the days when a criminal married woman took her husband’s name.
I miss the days when as a child playing with other children of about same age we could in the dark of night play hide-and-seek. After I came back to the states from Army service in the Pacific in WWII life started to change and when the USA got that feely goody feeling for all sorts of immigrants the USA culture really started down hill.
Look at the warts under his nose, hidden in the mustache...probably some sort of virus from sticking his nose in someones anus.
I’d like to know when that time existed. Because it hasn’t existed in at LEAST the last 55 years. Kidnapping children wasn’t daily news, but it happened. I remember being scared.
