Grandma amy also come and "get" them from school and such. The problem is in communicating the DANGER of "going" with or near someone. I am really concerned because my 7 year old is at the age where most kidnapped little girls are, 6-9 years old. And she is very "trusting", and friendly. Even though I watch her like a hawk, and my two boys too, things can and do happen suddenly, and I worry that my three will NOT listen at a critical moment. (They DO defy my instructions MOST of the time.) They are very stubborn, like their father. Jeffery G.
