For the life of me I do not know why people let their kids roam around unsupervised for reasons like this. I grew up with really protective parents so I'm not used to seeing so many small kids walking alone or with other slightly older siblings. I definitely understand that many parents are working but it's scary to me. My son is only 5 so we would never be out walking alone. I think some people think just because we are not in DC city, they forget that this is still a large metropolitan area. I say all that to say, there is nothing wrong with being cautious and folks should not be ridiculed for it.

I guess it's okay since it's Arlington. If this was about ACPS it'd get flagged and deleted immediately. We're not allowed to talk about the kids getting killed in the parking lot next to the high school, since it's not physically inside the high school. Different schools, different rules.
This happened on the trail, not on school property. It has nothing to do with the school other than it happened in the vicinity.
