[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people think DC is super dangerous too. Yet we manage to raise our kids here just fine. Sooooo.....not really sure I can take you seriously, OP. [/quote]

I would let my kids play there, inside. I live in DC, in an area (Cap Hill) where there is much more crime than in the suburbs, but yes, we feel generally comfortable and raise our kids here fine. But let's not ignore the horror of the crime in many parts of DC.

Like Buena Vista, where Kierra Tolen was shot two days ago, when she was inside, because her mother won't let her play outside because of the violence, including two murders this year within 500 feet of her house. And she's only one of the 72 kids that have been shot in DC this year. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/07/26/12-year-old-struck-stray-bullet-dc/)  [/quote]
And statistically that’s more kids than who go missing, forever never to return, in a year in the WHOLE COUNTRY. People are judging OP but then will worry about “stranger danger” and trafficking until blue in the face.[/quote]
