I was at the fair with my daughter Saturday afternoon, she is 10. She either stood right next to me or held my hand the entire time we were at the fair. I saw kids between the ages of 10-14 running around with other friends and no parents in sight. Parents need to smart up and realize there are people out there that will do disgusting things to kids. If you've ever been to a high school football game here in town it's the same thing. Parents give their 12 y/o kids $5 to get in the game. They drop them off and leave. It's the cheapest babysitters they can get. Leave the kid at the fair for 5 hrs for only $15, can't beat those babysitters. Things like high school sporting events, county fair, movies,ect...it should be mandatory for children to be escorted by their parents
