I teach lessons about every evening, at a local park near my house. Every day there is a 7ish YO boy, watching us. He is there by himself. Yesterday he had me come look at 2 baby birds that had fallen from the nest. He ran home, across the street and got his sister who appeared to be about 12. I am willing to bet that no adult is home. He wanders around there all evening by himself. I am considering calling DCFS, but he isn't doing anything wrong - he just isn't safe.
Last week in Mesa, the "father of the year" was arrested for multiple rapes. They have the DNA.
No, I never left my kids alone, not even the boys. I always snooped through their rooms, while cleaning and i am not above checking e-mails and Myspace.
But, once they start driving, it is awfully hard to know where they are, but I tried to keep on top of it.
I recently spoke with my 19YO about the professors at college that might be perverts. Did she listen? I don't know, but at least I said it.
