Huckleberries Online

Another 2 Cents …

Last evening while my wife and I were walking our dog, we encountered a little girl, about 6 or 7, in front of some Ninth Street apartments by the Project CDA playfield. She seemed out of place. So, we asked her if something was wrong. She said her older sister had left her there, and she was scared. Why? "I heard someone around her kidnapped a little boy and a little girl." She was so afraid in the advancing darkness that she didn't want to risk walking about a block to her home. So we escorted her back home. What kind of world are we leaving for the kids?
