[quote=Anonymous]Like one of the PP's, I grew up in the center city, in my case, DC. I cannot agree more that this is more about parenting, teaching kids how to navigate their surroundings, public transportation and general street smarts. Most of my bad dealings were with kids who were from the suburbs, abused drugs and alcohol, drove while impaired, etc. Note also, that many of the major news stories come from the suburbs (Columbine and such). There is no sense in trying to shield and shelter children from societal ills. The sooner they understand the strata in society and ways to be a part of the solution, the better. [/quote]
