Oh, my god

minnehaha B, you have given me a hard time about not letting the girls off the block.

This happened at the park quite close to my house. And we've always considered it a pretty good neighborhood, too.

Now do you understand why parents get scared?

Shit. That poor kid. He's Delia's age. Those poor parents.

I am really distressed over this.

EDITED TO ADD: kiramartin JUST CALLED TO REPORT THE KID HAS BEEN FOUND. HE WAS AN OVERNIGHT RUNAWAY, WHO HAS RETURNED TO HIS HOME.

(Personally, if I were his mom, I'd probably be tempted to just about kill him.)
