I also know what you mean Karen. We have 3 boys, 15, 10 and 4. It is sad when you cannot even let your children go out in the backyard and play. We have a Pitt Bull as a house pet, and she goes outside w/our two youngest boys all the time, even if they go and take out the trash. We keep our doors and windows locked as well.

Our oldest son will go out in the woods to put feed in his deer feeders, and our youngest always enjoyed going out with him. I don't even like that!

You know one day our middle son Wes came in and asked if he could go and take a walk in the woods. before I got a chance to answer, our 4 yr old piped up and said Wes Noooooo..you can't go out by yourself or someone will "chop your head off"..

I thought wow..were did he get that from. When I asked him, he told me that Todd (our oldest) told him if he ever went into the woods by himself a bad man would come and chop his head off..Not exactly the tactic I would use, but Todd wanted to scare him enough so he did not go off by himself. He is really a good older brother, he looks out for the other two..even though as I said, I would not have used the bad man will chop off your head scenerio..I know he ment well.

It is really sad..all of it! Not too long ago, a man with tatoos and a van was in town and tried to take a child from his front steps..He and his mother were going out, and he was sitting on the front porch waiting for her to get her shoes on. If it wasn't for their dog he would have succeeded!!
