[quote=Anonymous]We live in Manor Park with toddlers and no, I'm not particularly concerned, but I can't say I don't think about it. We are out and about in the city with our kids all the time, and it's fine. I'm definitely more aware these days though. I keep an eye out for anyone who looks off. I keep an eye on groups of teens. I'll move metro cars or get off the bus if anyone who seems like they're going to cause problems gets on (fwiw never needed to do this). Carjackings are a little scary because they're seemingly pretty random, but in reality there are patterns and if you know those patterns you can reduce your risk--most happen at night, many happen to cars idling, and they're still pretty concentrated in certain areas. Also, the number is extremely small compared to the number of cars on the roads at any given time. I'm not going to crap on your fears like others in here are doing because I get it, but realistically your chances of being victimized are very low. [/quote]
