This thing IS rather like the Energizer Bunny.... it just keeps going... and going...

We can help: Report the strange, even if it's not (wait for it, wait for it! ) 'illegal' strange. I think some people on here are arguing just to argue and some to egg on at this point. At least I hope that's why they're going on.

If it's a scary, paranoid world you want to live in, have at it.
Don't forget to double, no, triple bolt your doors tonight.

Not sure why or if that comment was directed this way, but there it is.

Octang Frye

You just said, report stuff. I'm sure the police will love being inundated with reports of the 'strange'. I live on Colfax and it's strange not to see something strange.

Now, we return to your previously scheduled hand-wringing.

He has a lot of random thoughts.....and the world is happy go lucky with not a care to be had.....

I can hear the birds chirping and the bees buzzing as I type.....

Ha ha. Yes, clever. I was talking about report the strange when it comes to kids and people doing strange things around them like HAS BEEN DESCRIBED by the OP. I'm not extrapolating.

On that note, thanks for the egg.

I'm withdrawing from this thread.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and thoughts on the original story from the OP and that's fine. Maybe it is too close to home for me...I am involved with a lot of kids who are abused, sexually and physically. I have sat in court and listened to some of the so called "innocent" stories that have come to light. Actions that you or I may ignore because they don't appear to be a problem but they often are. I admit to not trusting a lot of peoples gestures and stories, so yes I am paranoid but if it saves a child being hurt in any way then I'll stay that way.

Octang Frye

Yeah, I'm out too. This thread has two entrenched camps and never the twain shall meet. At least in this thread. Again I go back to my earlier post about the personal take on this, and the bigger picture.
Sugarmooma's take is influenced by her personal experience.

Last thing, it's Obama/Bayh.

Mwah, mwah, to you too Willmore.

Yeah just like the policemen/women that deal with abuse situations, sexual predators, whatever.....they're take on it (should they advise you what to do if you were in a weird situation) is all personal as well.
