Wow so scary… I understand parents gotta work to support they families and all, but when it comes to kids walking bye them selves that’s not cool… idk what I’m doing I WILL be there when my kid gets off the bus… bosses need to realize how many creepers and how bad this world is getting… You would think bosses would let parents at least leave to make sure there kid is SAFE going home from school…this world is getting worse and worse I don’t even feel comfortable putting my child into school day care nothin… I pray for everyone and this world daily ! Just my opinion
Not every house hold can have someone walk the kids to school or the bus stop, My mother had to be at work by 6:00AM so when i started school i walked from Patton drive to Warrington elementary in kindergarden and then I walked from Florelle way to Montclair Elementary from 1st grade through 5th grade. This little boy obviously was taught to run away and seek out an Adult neighbor or relative for help. I’m just glad he’s okay. I hope they find this scum bag.
So glad the little boy ran away rather than get in the car with that monster. It is so sad that kids cannot be kids anymore.
People don’t understand that some parents are at work at 2:00 pm. The kid has to walk by himself.
Out there – There be MONSTERS
I am about at the point where I don’t want any member of my family to leave the house. The world is going to Hell and there are some sick, sick people that roam around.
I would ask, why is a 7 year old walking anywhere by himself?
Parents we must try harder to keep an eye on our kids. Kids must be watched and guarded
