Are you a concerned citizen?

Here is a question that I thought would be intresting; are you the type of person to call the police if something looks suspicious? Wednesday afternoon my husband Raymond was coming home from doing some errands and we were talking on the phone(bluetooth so he can have both hands on the wheel lol) when he saw a girl about the age of ten walking down the street and there was a car following her. He told me that a man was trying to coax her into the car and the girl was trying to walk away from the car and get the guy to leave her alone. So he hung up from talking to me and called the police. He pulled into the football field stadium and waited until the police showed up because he was afraid that the guy would try to get the girl in the car. So once the police showed up he came home. He said the girl tried to ditch the guy in some apartments but he kept following her and trying to talk to her. He said the girl seemed scared and nobody was doing anything about it. He said all he could think of was our kids and what would happen if our kids were in the same situation and nobody helped. Well he told his mom and dad and some friends and they told him he should have minded his own business. Can you believe it!!!! I was so suprised because as much publicity as there is over kids getting abducted I believe he did the right thing. He does to and he said he would have done the same thing all over again. Would you have done the same thing or would you have ignored it and not gotton involved.

Absolutely!! He was right. Shame on them for telling him otherwise. How would he have felt if he knew what he seen and that girl came up missing and he knew he could have stopped it. I hope if my kids have that problem, there is someone like your husband around and not your relatives. He did the right thing and I am sure that girls parents would agree!!!

I have looked at kids as each of our responsibility. Kids need to be safe guarded. There are a lot of kids coming up taken and we all need to be the guardians for the safety of the children. Your husband did the right thing. Think about what could have happened if he just ignored the situation. He is a good man and the concern he showed was justified. Too many times people say to mind ones own business. Think about what this world would be like if every person thought that way. To me being told he should have minded his own business was a very cold thing to say. Pat your husband on his back and let him know what a great thing he did. He kept a child safe and that is the bottom line.
