[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are about to move to NWDC. I'm curious how parents of young children feel about the crime in DC and if it's impacting your daily life or your choices for how you spend time with your little ones. We have a toddler who is active and loves to be outside. On average we spend about 4-5 hours a day out at playgrounds, just walking the streets, etc. I also often drive him to events at public libraries. Reading about the frequent armed carjackings /armed robberies that seem to be spread out all over DC scares me. They are happening during the day and are not confined to certain areas. My worst nightmare would be getting carjacked at gunpoint with my child in the carseat. Are you taking more precautious when you go out with your children? If so, how? Please also mention which neighborhood you live in. Or tell me it's all overblown? [/quote] Its a valid concern regardless of what people say all of whom have their heads in the sand.[/quote]
