[quote=Anonymous]My child was robbed of his backpack in Metro, snatched by strangers. Typical victim: headphones, sitting by sliding doors, backpack on ground, lost in thought. I should say, typical teen. You may think your child behaves 'vigilantly' but chances are if they're a teen on metro they're not being super vigilant. He reacted too slowly to chase them, which in my books would have been the worse thing he could have done vis a vis escalation. I am not saying don't let your kids ride, but stuff does happen so talk to them about where to sit, how to act and what to do if they encounter trouble (DON'T CHASE; summon police/help). My child did file a police report but of course we heard nothing further ever. The worst was it was a pretty critical time in HS and a lot of good work was lost with the bag. The best is, he's alive.
