A whole lot of kids disappear and get murdered in "safe" areas...one of the last places I'd let my kids walk around in is in a suburban neighborhood...I have two girls so I'm just paranoid...I won't let them out by themselves until they're old enough to drive.
I remember one time when I was pumping gas in my old neighborhood in Ohio and I saw a woman leave her kids in the car with the car running, her purse and everything in the car while she went into the store...When she came out, I told her, "If we were in a white neighborhood, your car AND your kids would be gone"...
All she could do is look down to the ground, get in her car, and drive off.
