I'm starting to lose patience with really dumb questions.  Really, really dumb.  Of course there are adults around.  But do you know those adults around?  Are there 40 adults around, in which case we can figure at least some of them will notice something if it's unsafe for your kids?  Or are there 2 adults around, one who looks drunk/high and the other is jogging with his earphones on and not paying any attention?  Those are different scenarios.  Of course day/night/populated/unpopulated makes a difference.  As do a million other factors in the surroundings, the kids themselves, etc.  And you know who's in a better place to judge that than random people on the internet?  The actual people who were there.  The caller.  The cop.  Seriously.  This isn't that hard.[/quote]

It just doesn't make sense to me. On the one hand, we're supposed to assume that anybody might be a predator out to get us. On the other hand, we're also supposed to assume that some random guy with a dog is a reasonable person who made a rational assessment of the situation.[/quote]
