Do you feel safe in your community?

The only thing you believe should be your family. But sometimes people show us that we can trust them.

I feel safe but I'm always looking around to make sure they are safe. If I never let them outside they would drive us crazy. I know that some people want to protect their children but you are really doing them a disservice, when they have to get out in the big bad world they will not be ready for all those incidents that will make them question their own safety.

I feel very safe in my community my neighbors and I look out for one another the crime rate here is 0 so my kids have the freedom to go out and play I can feel ok about letting them walk to the park or anywhere else in town of course there are creepy people but they are creepy in the weird harmless way so no big deal LOL

hi, i can say that i am not safe in my community because even i stay and live in my community for almost 20 years i cant say that i am safe,as days goes by people will change and transform according to their needs in life.so i always aware and be careful though i know that person.

For the most part I feel safe in my community. There aren't a whole lot of crime and violence where I live, especially compared to other places. But I try not to be naive though because bad things do happen in good communities. So I do like to be cautious. My neighbors and I don't see each other often but I wouldn't avoid them. When my children are older I will let them play outside but always within my eye sight. There are creepy people in our neighborhood, but I don't have to see them often so that's a good thing. I think people stay in areas where they feel unsafe because they may not have the finances to move. And moving entails a lot a person has to find a new job, or work, a place for their children to go to school, etc. But if i felt really unsafe I would get a dog or move.

I don't think anywhere is safe, nowadays. Even in known subdivisions with strict security services, there is still unexpected danger. The reason why we chose this area is because its far from the busy city but still have enough establishments for our needs, and its close to beach resorts, too. I was never a sociable person, so I'm always just inside the house doing my stuff. My daughter is still 3, so she isn't up for playing outside with other kids, just yet. But, I do intend to allow her to go out and play when she's probably 4 or 5, with adult supervision. We always tell her nanny never to entertain strangers.

Personally I would say I feel safe during the day walking around like to catch a bus, and such but at night I would not want to be walking by myself unless it is just in our little cul-de-sac. If I was a male I am sure I would respond differently but I have seen police cars all the time at night only about a street or two over from us all the time at night, so it makes you wonder about safety.

hi mommyboo yes I really do as the only times I have seen a police caqr in this vicinity it was here at Gold crest to find a resident that had wandered off. I live in Garden Grove, Little Saigon, California. The boat people fled from Saigon came to California and settled in a 25 square area in Garden Grove called Little Saigon.They are excellent neighbors, quiet,friendly, crime free and they take in mom and dad, and grandma and grandpa. shaming us Americans who dump them into retirement centers and nursing homes forgetting these were the people who nurtured you and cared for you growing up.

Yes, I do feel safe in my neighborhood. I certainly feel comfortable in the neighborhood we live in. Sure, it may not be the safest place on the planet, but I'm definitely sure that there is a lot worse. It's a nice and friendly area to live in. My husband and I definitely chose a good area to live in, and I wouldn't want to live in another area.

Hi mommyboo. Yes I feel safe in my community. I live in a small town, a small community where everyone know each other, we look out for each other. Our kids grew up here and yes they played outside together and we didn't have to breathe down their necks. In this community we are like the communities that all raise the children. I remember when I worked the second shift which was from 3P.M. to 11 P.M. at night and my neighbors would watch for me until I got in the house safely at night.

About as safe as you can feel these days. I don't think that anyone is going to jump out of the bushes when I am getting the mail and knife me in the back for example. Of course, you never really know these days. There are a lot of desperate people out there. In many ways, we are in desperate times to say the least and many people are not really going to be able to handle the desperation that is going to rise in the world all that well. So yeah, there doesn't seem to be much crime around here. There are a few isolated incidents every now and again. Of course, there is always a chance where you can in fact become one of those isolated incidents. You just never really know what is going to happen. I go out there, looking over my shoulder, eyes darting from side to side, as I wonder what might occur. I wonder what might happen. Still for the most part I feel safe, but still best to be careful.

Well, I think our location is much safer than the outside. We live in a subdivision. It's a crappy subdivision but it's much safer than the place outside the subdivision. In our place, there are only a few crimes happening in a year. I still get scared at night whenever I hear weird sounds outside.

I live in Vermont. I feel very safe in our comminuty. I think every community has a *creeper* in it. Being a small town, they're easily spotted. Here, we kind of always watch the kids. It's crazy not to. They go out to play and feel safe in their backyards. Neighbors are friends and help to watch over their neighbors' kids. If someone sees something that's not quite right, a phone call is made and it's looked into. Admittedly, our kids don't like the ten o'clock curfew but you can bet 90% of the parents know where there children are at ten o'clock at night. Safe at home.

I really don't like my community, but i don't hate it. Its safe at times and then its not, Honestly its on and off, I have plenty of friends who I like to hang out with, but then there are those days where They bring their friends and we end up having a showdown. Lawl, If i weren't living with my parents, and still in school, i would packup and LEAVE or not. NOT 100% sure, but I'll make my decision 1 day.

I totally feel safe in my community. I make sure i keep my mind focused on the positive things. i make sure i stay aware what is going on around me and listen to my inner self. but i feel safe no matter where i go. and if i feel like something isn't right, i know how to go the other way

Our choice of location was a mixture of desire and what we could afford. We are both city born people who wanted to escape from the city so we found a nice country town with a climate we liked and we were very happy that we were able to afford a nice house there. Yes I feel safe living her. I am getting older and I no longer trust the city as being a safe place to live for anyone but it is harder for the old as you are much more vulnerable. I know that the city has better health services and the best prices for shopping but I would be nervous living there now. In this town I feel safe enough for now and I hope it stays that way. I used to think that getting old would mean I would be safe from certain attacks like rape but it appears that there are boys and young men in the cities who are quite happy to rape women as old as 80. That fact alone will help keep me away from cities. I mean they are obviously not doing it because of any attraction or desire, they are just thugs who see women as easy targets and they want to persecute them. If they were men they would just get bashed an robbed but women get all that and rape.

I do feel safe in my community. Thu,of course we still need to be extra careful since strangers are coming around the neighborhood. We can even leave our house open in day time or even at night time when we go out.

people living in the Philippine provinces doesn't need to fear in their community because in the northern portion of their house is the house of their lolo's and lola's while in the southern portion of their house is their cousins and 3rd cousins... while in the western part is their other relatives either to mother or father side relatives, while in the eastern portion is their brothers and sisters families and kids.... just say the name of their family and the tricycle driver knows where the home location is to find.....

Well,for me i am safe..Our place is like an urban place not much houses yet but much people..Being safety here at firts i was scared ,but when you know much here and confident to live you are safe with God safety for you..

I live in two worlds. Abroad and for now I am having a great ytime months in my homeland. In my homeland I feel so much safer despite it being a metropolitan city. The neioghbourhood is an old one but everybody is friendly and say hello to each other. It seems like everybody cares. I have to be back to me abroad home very soon. Yes I have friend sthere but neighbours in the neighbourhood or rather in general the people are colder there. It is a culture it seems and i would feel lonely definitely. Feeling safe is another issue. It is going to eb winter and will be dark always...for the past couple of years theres been serial rapist cases there. So its time for me to be cooped up at home after 3pm unless I have someone to accompany me going around...sigh
