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.)

I distinctly remember walking down a street near my house and having a car pull up and a man ask me if I wanted a ride. I told him "no" and he drove away. The side of the road I was on put me on the passenger side of the car; I've wondered, if I'd been on the driver side, if he'd have grabbed me.

I've no idea as to my age. About 8 or 9. Had no idea why to say no except Mom said to.
