[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm after reading the content of the 911 call I have to agree that the call was made cause the kids looked dirty, and frankly I think it was reasonable. The dog walker did a justifiable (maybe not right, but not outlandishly wrong) thing by observing them for a while and making the call. We are supposed to trust our guts and a big part of our perception will be based on the cleanliness/appearance of individuals. So while pp above was being sarcastic, yes! Dress your kids well and they will have less chance of being reported. The dog walker was being part of the village, if you ask me. [/quote]

No, the village would go up and see if they needed anything, not call 911. That is what paranoid people with little social skills do. [/quote]

Exactly! [/quote]

Nope.  Wrong.  IF it were actually in a neighborhood, then the guy walking the dog would probably know the kids' family and/or at least some of their neighbors.  So they could check on them and make sure it was ok.  That's what would have happened in my neighborhood growing up.  My parents would have called the kids' parents if they thought the kids looked kind of lost or over their heads.  But if they didn't know the kids' parents, they would call the police.  No one in the world who ever met us would say they (or I) don't have social skills.[/quote]

No because my neighborhood is a lot more than 2 blocks wide, which is how far away they were and not everyone knows everyone.  As a matter of fact, because of the praetor conspiracies and need to have kids in daycares or in front of a tv screen, along with parents who outsource yard work, car washing, etc.... hardly anyone knows every neighbor, even on their own street.  Welcome to 2014.  It is time for a change and I hope these parents are opening up people's eyes to what their kids are missing by structuring every moment of their lives and future.  More attention issues, more disorders, more therapists needed, more stress, more anxiety.  If is all very much related.  [/quote]

Whoops, predator conspiracies and I forgot it was 2015   :oops:  [/quote]
