Today is not 30 years ago. My own neghborhood from when I was a kid has changed drastically. And it isnt only the predators I am concerned with. Traffic is higher, people seem to drive with less caution.
I dont care if you walked to school uphill in the snow then, thats not my childs world now.
Especially, "soccer moms" with a cell phone in one hand and a cig in the other.

I totally agree. Maybe you've confused me for another poster? My post stated that as a child I was chaperoned along with school crossing guards at every intersection as all small children walking to and from school should be. A five year is too careless and could easily decide to take a short cut and cut across the road between parked cars entering into a blind spot of a racing driver.
