My daughter went home sick from work yesterday and said she saw people still looking in culverts etc. Later on during the day when she crawled out of bed to take her dog out for a walk the open space/trails where she walks which passes a school were deserted except for a few adults like her walking their dogs or jogging/biking.
She said Mom I don't see any kids which is so weird. My answer was ARE YOU KIDDING, I WOULD HAVE THEM TIED TO MY WAIST!!
Even though she is a young adult I said please just go home and lock the door.This is all just my biggest nightmare.I keep on checking to see if anything has come up. This is another sad one.
I feel the same. I have always been overprotective of my kids, because I don't ever want to be in this poor mother's shoes. I know I can't protect them always because they are going to grow up and move out on me one day, but as long as I can, I will try to always be watching.
