[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the PP. A lot of bad shit happens in the suburbs too. And, maybe I am wrong, but I am gonna assume you live in NW - most of NW is hardly the inner city. I grew up in NYC in the big bad 1970's when the city was rife with crime and homelessness. I took public transportation to school with all sorts of characters. Walked past homeless people every day - we even had a "neighborhood bum!" I was taught to be careful and knew that I could be mugged at any time (never was). I think it gave me a good insight into how other people are - not everyone is white and upper middle-class and just like us. I am also very street-smart and independent, skills that have always helped me in my life. Your kids will be fine. [/quote]
