Neighborhood watch

On Friday,there were two attempted child abductions in and around our neighborhood. One of them was only two streets over from ours. Luckily, both of the children got away unharmed.And were able to give a pretty good description to the police of the car and the man. I'm scared to let my kids play outside now. They are not allowed to leave the front yard. And I'll stand on the porch and watch them walk next door. I prayed last night for the families that this happened to. I know I'm freaked out but can you imagine those families fear.

I tried to call everyone I could think of around here to let them know.And to call the police if they see anything suspicious. And to my surprise they had not heard it happened. Where is the neighbor watch? Aren't they supposed to let us know of such things? I guess my neighborhood does not have one. My neighbor told me,he is one of the local boyscout leaders. He heard it from one of the parents in his troop.

I thought my neighborhood was safe but I guess your never as safe as you think.
