No one will call the cops if kids are playing in a front yard...whether it's your yard or the neighbor down the street...because common sense dictates that a grown up is in the house or within earshot. The same is not true when kids are a mile away from home in a non-residential area (in this case, in front of a parking garage). A reasonable person did not see any adults around, and there weren't any houses nearby...just a busy street. [/quote]

Have you ever been there? [b]Fenton Street is not a busy street[/b].

I also don't understand the fear of non-residential areas (and parking garages! yikes!)

Not to mention that there was at least one adult around, namely the guy who called 911.[/quote]

I live a block from there.  Fenton Street IS a busy street.  Meaning, there are a lot of people around all the time.[/quote]

Agreed. Fenton Street is a busy street in terms of foot traffic. But not in terms of car traffic, which is what the PP meant, I'm guessing. [/quote]
