I have spent a great deal of time in Flint, Michigan.

My advice to all Freepers is to arrange your lives so that you never have to do so.

I have to and I couldn't agree more. Saginaw is working its way to becoming another Flint.

I'm concerned about it because I don't know why the parents aren't stepping in," said Green

Given your first hand knowledge, would you say the reason parents aren't coming forward is that most of them don't have fathers in the home or their parents do drugs?

They sound like predatory animals! Like rapid packs of dogs roaming through the woods looking for their next prey! But I'm sure they are all finding time to learn their school lessons in such a wonderful environment.

My married daughter lives in Flint and says it's the armpit of the entire state. This from a girl who has never lived out of the state of MI her entire life.

I was up there in Feb. for her wedding and I'd have to agree with you. Not even a nice place to visit let alone have to live there.
