How to be street smart when you're street dumb #7: Broad Daylight

Ever walk down the street and see a tiny kid about two or three just trailing behind its parents? Yup, right there, the mark of stupidity. Children are seriously fair game for all kinds of sickos. Who is to stop a weirdo from picking up the baby and selling it into prostitution in some foreign country? There are rooms full of little girls where nasty men come in and pick the one they want for the night, the week, the month, and I can go on. Don't forget the black market. People go in, write up a list of what nationalities they want the child to have and if your baby fits the bill it is a target. Don't worry, there are other babies that fit the bill, too. The kidnapper will pick the stupidest parent or guardian to steal from. So, hold your baby's hand, don't leave it alone in the cart, the car, or wherever. Teach the baby stranger danger or you too can have your baby taken out of a pool party by the hand and murdered. And if none of that happens, there's always the jerk that thinks you're abusing and neglecting the baby. Then you lose the baby anyway so it can go off to who knows where to be lawfully molested.

Don't let the baby run after the ice cream truck alone. If the ice cream person isn't a sicko, someone is. Don't let your kid run anywhere they please! Fences are put up for a reason. Suppose your kid gets molested by another kid? A kid that's seen too much mess and decides to reenact it on your child? Your child grows up with weird issues that you can't figure out and then they turn around and start spoiling other innocents. And it all happens in lonely places day or night, when you're not there watching. Do you really want to drive by your kid's friend's house and see your baby getting molested or raped? Shoot, you just might murder the little punk and then where will you be? So none of this growing up "free" and "wild" business. Babies are meant to be protected, that's why they have you.

Say you live in an area that just feels ever so good! You don't lock your doors, you have a set schedule, you are in dreamland. And because of it, you don't notice the nasty neighbor down the street watching you. Yup, he watches you as you run by, he watches you take your kids to the park, he even goes to your house to watch you sleep through your open window. Now he knows where you live, he knows your schedule and he knows when you will be alone without fail. And he totally makes friends with your dog because he slips the mutt food all the time. Pretty soon the weirdo thinks you're in love with him because not only is he a weirdo, he's a loony. And because you're not watching, he creeps into your house in broad daylight and that's it. Raped, beaten and/or murdered.

Daylight has its dangers, especially for idiots that aren't looking where they are going. You too can be kidnapped in public or spend the rest of your life wondering where your baby is because no one ever found the body. Keep your eyes open.
