Yup. You bet. One of my favorite lines in a movie was when Charles Bronson said in Death Wish, ‘you’d think they were an endangered species!’
Any moment of any day somewhere there is a small innocent child being abused, molested, terrified, hurt. We’ve got to do better than we do at protecting them.
Is it just me? Or are there more perpetrators out there than there were 20, 30 or 40 years ago? I remember walking to the grocery store alone at age nine, riding my bike with friends (or alone) until dark at age eight. We always walked to the movie theater on Saturdays, alone, and met our little friends there.
It is the sole responsibility of the parents (or care givers), NOW, to never never never let the little ones out of their sight - not for even a moment.
