We are in such deep trouble in his country, on so many levels, it’s surreal. Tell you what...I don’t have little girls, but if I did, I would be escorting them into women’s rest rooms myself. That’s what it has come to.
And my son tells me years later about a strange incident in a summer day program for working moms.
There were other close calls with my girls growing up. My mom let me take the bus when I was 5 to my grandmother's and would send me downtown on errands when I was 7 or 8. OMG. You shouldn't do that now. She knew things happened, too. She never sent my sister. Only me. I was really lucky, used rest rooms everywhere by myself.
There are some down in the park, open to anyone, no doors on the stalls, no big deal in years past. But I would be afraid to use them now if I was alone for fear somebody could trap me in there.
