It is always a van eh? Parents in all seriousness check the sex offender lists for your neighborhood and make sure that your kids are supervised. There are plenty of great homes and real estate out there but that does not mean there are not predators living in the area or at least passing through.

I’d like to say THANK YOU to “Mom 1″ for her response to the situation. I do not think she overreacted but on a day where many of us allowed the children to play outside in the snow it did remind us that we needed to still watch our kids closely and remind them of stranger danger. Also, her children did exactly what we’ve asked them to do and good for them. Ditto on the girl on Daniel. This is what we want our children to do, come tell a grown up when a stranger approaches them…..perhaps the newspaper man should have called the police and I.D.’d himself saying he scared some children accidentally in case they get calls….that would have stopped some of the “telephone” game that followed.

LMAO at http://www.scaryvan.com Priceless!

My children know not to talk to anyone wearing non-designer shoes. It helps keep away the riff-raff.

@ Still Confused – We may have the same handyman. I hadn’t even thought of it before. He is one of the friendliest guys around.

@Scooter – you shot yourself in the foot with the “upscale neighborhood” comment, as if strangers approaching children is okay in “non-upscale” neighborhoods. I agree with Rob – that comment came off as elitist. I think this whole thing blew up into something silly.

Perhaps due to the hype or perhaps merely coincidentally, I heard this joke passed around middle schoolers today –

Q: “Did you hear about the kidnapping?”

A: “He woke up.”

The Dallas police must be howling with laughter that the the UP police put this much time and energy into this.

What ever happened to the hooker with the pot smoking kids? Wasn’t she on Daniel?

@Matt The violence the children are subjected to is on television and in their music. I remember in the ’70s when music was pop and television wasn’t all CSI. Their media seems to promote violence. That’s all I was trying to convey and for the record, I’m in my 40′s.

Look at the sex offender database in your neighborhood or zip and I think that you would be suprised. I know of multiple incidents durring the 70′s including 1 on Beverly Dr,and I do think that kids in our community are as safe now as back then. My children are younger but when I was in Armstrong,MMS and HPHS there were fights weekly and I still remember the pipe bomb while eating lunch at HPHS.
