[blparent] Something scary

Makes me want to put my child in a bubble and keep her home.

That's terrible. I just can't believe all the things parents have to
consider these days. In Omaha, a young man has been following grammar school
and junior high school buses, and when children step off the bus, he's
trying to entice them into his truck by saying he has candy. All the kids
approached have told him no and didn't go near him, and they all describe
him as a teen, which is so sad. It probably means someone at some point in
time did something terrible to him. I assume he approaches him after the bus
takes off since the news anchors didn't mention anything about the drivers,
and no suspects have been arrested at this point. It makes one consider the
whole perspective of why Rapunzel was locked in a tower; not a bad idea
these days.

Sincerely,

In our community, not necessarily from our school, a girl was taken at gun
point on Wednesday.  They said she got off her bus and started walking home
when a man in a car drove up to her and asked for directions.  She walked
toward the car to answer him and he pulled a gun, told her to get in the
car.  The news said he raped her and then took her into Albuquerque and let
her go.  
My daughter walks home and I tell her a thousand times, don't talk to
strangers, never go to a car and always stay in a group.  Never walk by
yourself and if that is going to happen, call me and we will pick you up.  
The girl was 13.
