[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Hill East and I had to unfollow all those crime accounts. Not because I don't appreciate what they are doing but because my stress levels were through the roof and I just couldn't deal with it. I feel less safe now than when I moved to this area 15 years ago, even though I know the crime was worse back then. But it was a known quantity -- I knew I was moving to a rougher neighborhood and was prepared to handle it. It has gotten so much better for so long, and now I'm much older and a parent, and the seemingly random and aggressive nature of the current crime wave (and the fact that it's happening in the dead of a cold winter) is very unsettling to me.

We don't go out much anyway but this stuff has me nervous about something as simple as driving across the Hill to pick up takeout in the early evening. I think "is it worth it, should we just have it delivered?" None fo the crime has been directed at children, thankfully, but I still worry a lot about my kids being caught up in something.

I am very scared of what happens as the weather gets warmer and we experience the "normal" uptick in crime. This is not normal.[/quote]

Actually children HAVE been victims of crime on the Hill: An 11 month old girl suffered a fractured eye bone and needed 19 stitches after some vile person attacked her and her father with a brick
