What do you want, a police officer stationed at every subdivision? There are limited amounts of law enforcement personnel available and they just can't be everywhere at all times. I think this little girl was well informed and handled the situation wonderfully (THANK GOD!!!)! It is a shame that these people prowl our neighborhoods as child predators and I would love to catch one personally. You could try being a police officer yourself, but may need to try in a town where they start you out with just one bullet in your pocket. Perhaps that would alter your ever-present criticism of our area law enforcement and....it might get you off your couch to help patrol your own neighborhood!
