[quote=Anonymous]I admit to being an overprotective parent. I do not let my 7 or 9 year old go to the park alone. There is no doubt in my mind this is influenced by the Adam Walsh case and more recently Shawn Hornbeck. But also a personal experience - a 2nd grade friend of mine was kidnapped riding her bike to a park in 1975 and never found. She stopped to look at a cardboard box full of kittens and her friend rode home to ask if they could take them in. Gee I wonder who left the box there? Do you think your kid would ride past a box of kittens and not stop? I still rode my bike around the neighborhood and stayed out playing hide and seek til dark. But you can bet we all cast a much more wary eye on windowless panel vans after that. [/quote]
