[quote=Anonymous]I am sensitive to it, because my parents had the "find a ride" approach growing up. I narrowly avoided tragedy twice while walking in a small, quiet town. I know at least two other children (teens) who were raped and held against their will in this type of situation. This was a professional, educated, wealthy town - not flyover country, by any means. In one situation (that I know of) - the assailant was known to the victim. I do not happen to know if the assailant was known to the family - but does it really matter????!! A rhetorical question, of course. These were decent, respectable families who had their worlds torn apart. While lazy parents may wish this on involved parents, it will never make any valid concerns go away. I would never do that to my kids, and find it completely irresponsible of any parent to tell their child to "wing it". To call troll, because you are lazy, is equally irresponsible. Your shirking parental responsibilities does not make them go away. Do you wish your kids away, too? Be careful what you ask for. [/quote]
