[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I can’t believe how this has taken off. I wish I had been more clear in my OP.

The neighborhood is geographically in a very transitional area, I think is the best way to describe it. About a mile from a REALLY high crime area (shootings, stabbings) but then also a mile away from an area will million dollar homes.

FWIW, we are the same race as the family. We are also “DC poor” in our 1000sf home on the “poor” side of town. I’m sure our house has been judged by those wealthier than us.

I said “benefit of the doubt” because I wasn’t sure if the neighborhood would be more like the crime area, or more like the rich area. Our girls go to a magnet school so very diverse.

There weren’t overt signs of crime, but it was a beautiful early spring day and the neighborhood was just so shut up and silent, not a soul outside, no movement, just eerie. I thought, on a day like this why isn’t there a soul outside? It was a gorgeous day. It just felt ominous. Were people not outside for reasons I didn’t know about?

I truly apologize if my post came across as racist or classist as that wasn’t my intent. [/quote]

When I go to my parents neighborhood, which is million dollar homes, no one is out.  When I got to the next section over from us which is wealthier no one is out either.  Some neighborhoods are like that.  A mile is a far distance.  You are being absurd.  If the parent took good care of your child, that is what is important.

Crime can happen anywhere.[/quote]
