This is so scary and it will not be the last time it happens. My question to you is: where were you? The police do what they can to be where they are needed, but they can only be spread so thin. Was this girl walking alone, and if so, why? In this day and time, no one should walk alone even in broad daylight, but especially a young girl. If the community is so concerned with the dangers, whether they are outside the Forest Hills area, or inside, why don't the parents get together and set up a system where they take turns watching out for the children? I know alot of them probably work, but surely there would be someone that could keep an eye out, similar to a community watch program. Perhaps if you talked to the police chief and set up some type of community meeting, solutions could be found. Something has to be done - the next girl or boy might not get away! What if it is your child?
