I agree with Irish and don't agree with you on this one GF.
We are still very involved with the young people around here. They aren't perfect, but they are damned close to the kind of people their parents were and in some cases their grandparents. Some still sing in the church chior and are Eagle Scouts. Some work hard to get straight A's and cut their grandparents grass. Our neigbors' boys shovel our snow before they go to school and before we get up in the morning. (And won't take money!!) Some neighbor kids aren't kids now, one just passed the bar and the other will be a pediatrician come June.
We still leave our house unlocked in this area of Ohio. I find the kids I know and the kids they know are doin' good. :bigthumbsup:
